Tratto pen
-
Nice photograph

Can't wait to get Thea. -
simple, but really looks good

-
Thanks Mistro & Alvis.

-
Can I have an autograph?
-
Sure. Just for you Rich, all the four colours.


-
Can you put it on a cheque?

-

I don't think you'd become rich... -

I tried.
Can I see the construction of the pen tips? Is it a simple red to white gradient or something magical. SSS is a mystery to me

-
Sure. It's simply a projected image taken from a real photo...

...then in Thea I've assigned one of these white SSS materials and loaded the image in the diffuse and translucent slots.
-
It does indeed look like a photograph. I can almost smell the intoxicating aroma of felt tip

-
Thanks Steve.

Always loved the minimal and clear design of the pen, but didn't know that in 1979 it won one of the most prestigious (in Italy) design prizes.
