uni-ball Zento Standard Retractable Gel Pen

$3.25

Make no mistake: The Zento line from uni-ball is your new favorite everyday pen. The Zento glides across the page with rich gel ink that dries quickly and writes effortlessly — no smudging, skipping, or dragging. Just smooth, clean lines every time. For the environmentally-conscious, its minimalist, one-color barrel features a seamless soft grip made from recycled material. Available in Muted (Coastal, Ivory, Lavender, Fog) and Boho (Mist, Umber, Linen, Adobe) colorways.

Ink Colors: Various | Ink Type: Gel | Nib Size: 0.7mm Medium | Features: Retractable

A Note from the Founder: You might be wondering what the difference between the Zento and the regular uni-ball One is. uni-ball claims that this pen “inspires mindfulness and meditation,” and the brand was not lying. Few pens can actually refocus your thoughts on the joy of writing than on the instrument itself, but the ink flows so smoothly that writing with the Zento really is like a meditation. When I talk about the pleasures of writing by hand, this pen promotes an intimate writing experience. I’m still iffy about the colorways, but I lean more toward the Muted Collection (though I’m a sucker for greens and browns). What about you? — ariana
