The Aero takes its name and visual direction from the streamlined airships of the early twentieth century. Longitudinal grooves travel across the cap and barrel like structural ribs, while the tapered ends and uninterrupted metal body recall the aerodynamic form of a Zeppelin.
Pure Black removes the bright contrast found on many Aero finishes and allows the silhouette itself to carry the design. The matte surface absorbs light, while subtle satin reflections reveal the grooves and curvature as the pen moves in the hand.
