5 sec to refill – just dip in ink

Why make the switch?

A journaling pen with a creative flex.

No more disposables drying up halfway through an entry – the Lumos is infinitely refillable. But there's more. Switch the tip (available separately) and the same pen turns creative – fineliner, brush, highlighter, whatever your next spread needs.

One dip = one month

A single 5-second dip of the reservoir draws ink by capillary action - a steady flow that lasts about a month of daily journaling.

An ink for every mood

Compatible with all of our dye-based fountain pen inks – keep your entries classic in Black, or colour-code your months, moods and projects.

Eleven tips, one pen

Writing tips for daily entries, plus fineliner, brush, chisel and bullet tips for headers, trackers and decorated spreads.

Made properly

Machined, not moulded.

Each Lumos body is turned from solid aluminium, then hand-finished and packaged by our studio team. Precision and attention to detail make it a pen designed to outlast every journal you'll ever fill.

  • Japanese-made tips
  • Hand-finished in the studio
  • Brass, Bronze & Stainless Steel editions
  • Built to be repaired, not replaced
  • Infinitely refillable

The details

How it actually works.

No cartridge, no pump, no converter. A machined body, a Japanese-made tip and a small fibre-filled reservoir that draws ink straight from the bottle.

  • On journal paperA controlled fibre tip that stays crisp on dot-grid, lined and even thin 80gsm pages – no ghosting or bleed-through.
  • Tip sizesMedium 0.5 for expressive daily pages, Fine 0.3 for trackers, tiny calendars and neat entries. Both swap out in seconds.
  • Any angleJournal at a desk, curled on the sofa or propped up in bed. Press as hard as you like – the tip takes it.
  • Body & finishesMachined aluminium as standard, with Brass, Bronze and Stainless Steel metal editions.
  • When it wearsAfter years of daily entries you replace the tip, not the pen. Thirty seconds, and you're writing again.

Before you ask

The four things journalers want to know

Do I need ink?

No, a 3ml mini ink is included to get you started. Once that's run out, a single 50ml bottle lasts most people a year or more.

Will it ghost or bleed?

No. The tip lays a controlled line without feathering, ghosting or bleed-through – on dot-grid, lined pages and even standard 80gsm paper.

Will it leak?

Ink is held in a fibre-filled reservoir, so there's no loose liquid to burst or spill. The perfect travel journal companion.

I'm left-handed.

No problem! The fibre tip writes at any angle and the ink dries quickly on the page – so no smudged entries as your hand moves across it.

Compatible inks

Over 30 ink colours for your pages

Our dye-based fountain pen and fibre tip inks write beautifully in your Lumos – so your journal can go from a quiet black daily log to colour-coded months, moods and milestones, simply by changing the ink.

Mini Ink Collections

Six 5ml inks in a hand-painted box – 320,00 kr

The easiest way to try a few colours without committing to a full bottle. Each set is hand-painted and signed in the studio.

Incredible!

I wanted to just thank you for such a beautiful pen! I got a lumos and I've been running an experiment on how many pages I can write on one full reservoir, and so far I'm up to 21 pages with no sign of running out. What an incredible product. The balance and weight of the pen is perfect. Thanks again!

Best pen EVER!

I’ve had the Lumos Pro Single tip for only a day and I’m literally obsessed beyond belief. The pen feels nicely heavy in the hand, but not overly so, just right to feel expensive. The color options available? I want all of them! It writes so smooth it’s not even funny. This probably the only pen I’m ever going to own now. Price point well worth the quality.

I love this pen!

I love this pen! It looks beautiful, it writes beautifully and it is so easy to refill. It isn’t too heavy or too light. With the variety of tips available it is easy to get the exact writing experience you want. I have no notes. This is a great pen.
