From the archive

My pre-MUJI anchor: the trusted Triplus. It spent years translating half-formed thoughts, structural diagrams, and cynical meeting doodles into steady black ink. Somewhere in the house, a whole reserve box stays under lock and key—safe from the kids, whose eager, heavy hands would make quick work of that tender, fine-point nib.
