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.
Nib Sizes
At the heart of the Esterbrook Estie lies a nib engineered for reliability and smooth performance. The Estie is equipped with a high-quality, German-made Jowo #6 nib.
- Standard nibs: EF, F, M, B, BB, Stub
- Flex nibs: EF-Flex, F-Flex
- 18ct./750 gold nibs: F, M, B
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.
