Fountain pens for work

Meeting notes, signatures, and a pen that reads as competence.

The office pen must behave on whatever paper the printer tray holds: that means a fine nib and an ink that dries fast, resists water, and photocopies clean. Save the sheen monsters for correspondence; the work bottle is a disciplined blue-black.

For signatures, a slightly broader or stub nib gives the signature-weight line lawyers and fountain-pen people quietly recognize.
