Lamy Safari Umbra Fountain Pen – Medium Nib

Matte umbra (deep grey-black) fountain pen with smooth medium steel nib and blue cartridge. Ergonomic triangular grip, made in Germany.

Product Description

The Lamy Safari Umbra Fountain Pen is a modern classic, originally designed for students but widely adopted by pen enthusiasts globally due to its blend of style, durability, and functionality. The matte umbra finish (a sophisticated deep charcoal grey that appears almost black) gives it an understated, contemporary look that appeals to professionals and collectors alike.

Key design elements include the distinctive triangular ergonomic grip section that ensures comfortable, fatigue-free writing even during extended sessions, a self-sprung wide metal clip that easily secures the pen to pockets or notebooks without catching fabric, and a flattened barrel shape that prevents it from rolling away on desks. A transparent viewing window allows you to monitor the ink level effortlessly.

The pen features a durable black stainless steel medium nib that delivers consistent ink flow and a satisfying writing experience perfect for everyday tasks and creative endeavors. It comes with one blue LAMY T10 ink cartridge and accepts the LAMY Z28 converter (sold separately) for use with bottled inks, allowing you to personalize your writing style. The design adheres to the Bauhaus principle of "form follows function," making it a reliable, comfortable, and long-lasting everyday writing instrument crafted in Germany.
