About the Pilot Kakuno Fountain Pen – Soft Violet

The Pilot Kakuno Soft Violet is a highlight of the pastel series, combining a gentle violet cap with a crisp white body for a modern, clean aesthetic. This colorway is a favorite for those who want a pen that looks as sophisticated and clear as it writes. Whether you are using the included IC-50 cartridge, the CON-40 converter, or the high-capacity CON-70N, the Kakuno provides a smooth and consistent flow.

The heart of the Kakuno is its Smiley Face nib. This charming engraving serves a dual purpose: it makes the pen approachable for new writers and acts as a visual guide—if the smiley face is looking at you, the nib is at the correct angle to the paper. Now available in an Extra Fine (EF) 0.3mm nib, this model is perfect for those who require extreme precision for small-grid journaling.

Ergonomics are at the heart of the Kakuno. The triangular grip gently guides your thumb, index, and middle fingers into the perfect tripod position, making it a dream for long-form writing or marathon study sessions. The hexagonal barrel not only provides a comfortable hold but ensures your pen stays exactly where you put it on your desk.

Choosing Your Nib: The Extra Fine (EF) (0.3mm) is best for tiny handwriting; the Fine (F) (0.4mm) is the standard for daily notes; and the Medium (M) (0.6mm) is ideal for showing off ink colors.
