Creatively Misaligned Pens

The Align Pen Uses an Illusory Mechanism to Deploy Its Tip

For many people, pens are just tools for scrawling the occasional note, but the Align pen is better suited to people who care about their writing implements. The cleverly designed pen uses a mind-bending, intentionally misaligned mechanism to deploy its ballpoint tip, making every written note a joyful, tactile experience.

Mechanical ballpoint pens are often the bottom of the barrel, cheap writing option in the world of penmanship. No so with the Align pen, though. Not only is the pen built with the clever engineering in its ballpoint deployment, but it's also crafted out of machined, anodized aluminum for a smooth grip.

The Align pen comes in four color options: rose gold, Champagne gold, gunmetal, and blue metal For 50 pounds, it comes with a D1 ink cartridge refill and a gift box.
