Product Description
The Estie is the most common model by Esterbrook. It's a comfortably balanced fountain pen Made in USA with a nib from the German manufacturer JoWo (#6 nib). The body is made out of high polish blended and turened acrylic. They come with a converter inside & one blue ink cartridge, ready to write.
With its usual high-quality acrylic, Esterbrook has created a pen that not only pays homage to spring, but actually celebrates it: in each pen there is a kaleidoscope of floral accents, from green and blue tones to deep red and orange tones, all of them are shown in a craquelé pattern. These shades and patterns fascinate the eye and stimulate the imagination. As usual, the colorful Estie Botanical Gardens is available in a palladium and gold-colored version in regular and oversize models.

Details & Facts
The Brand
The Esterbrook brand embodies a significant piece of American writing history. Founded in 1858, Esterbrook became known as "The People's Pen," dominating the market with reliable and accessible writing instruments.
The modern Estie series marks the elegant revival of this legacy. The pen’s simple, comfortable cigar shape is a nod to the classics, merging historic reliability with modern engineering and superior materials. The name "Estie"—a beloved nickname for the brand—stands for a pen that honors the past while inspiring the future of your written word.
Materials
The Estie is crafted to feel exceptional in hand. The barrel is made from high-quality Precious Acrylic Resin, known for its deep, vibrant color and smooth finish. This refined material is balanced to offer a comfortable weight—neither fatiguing nor too light. All metal trims, including the signature clip and accents, are Palladium- or Gold-plated, providing a luxurious and durable touch that perfectly complements the pen’s clean, cylindrical design.

Custom nibs
Journaler: Medium Stub, based on vintage 9314M. Smooth, friendly for everyday use, adds flair, not too huge.
Needlepoint: For small grids (like Hobonichi). Controlled writing to fit more into smaller spaces.
Scribe: Architect nib. Thin downstroke, thick cross-stroke. Unique architectural line variation.
Mini Stub: Gets fine details and personality. Line variation, good for longform writing/sketching.
Techo: A highly versatile "all-in-one" nib that produces varying line widths based on the pen's writing angle (flatter angle = thicker line; steeper angle = thinner line), ideal for flexible journaling and sketching on the go.
Fude: A bent nib designed to mimic the dynamic line variation of a calligraphy brush ("Fude" means brush), creating very thin lines when held steep and thick, bold strokes when held flat—perfect for artists, illustrators, and dramatic calligraphy.
