Goulet Pens - 8-Bit Inventory Rollerball

The little quest item icons on the barrel are such a fun touch, and the rollerball glides really smooth on cheap notebook paper. Been carrying it at work all week and it's already my favorite pen in the drawer.

I bought this mostly for the nostalgia, and the little inventory icons printed along the barrel honestly make me smile every time I pick it up. The rollerball writes smoothly and the weight feels solid without being heavy in my hand.

I was a little worried the barrel would feel cheap, but the pixel-art inventory design is printed with real crispness, and it’s got that satisfying heft you want in a daily writer. The rollerball glides smoothly right out of the box, no skipping on my first few pages of notes.
