It's an elegant and intuitive mechanism that makes every use a small ritual.

Yes, the refill is replaceable. The pen is compatible with standard Cross refills, which are easily available online and in stationery stores. A black refill is pre-installed in the package.

The Sostanza Pen is available in two colors: Cloudy Silver and Shadow Black. Both are made of anodized aluminum with the same twist mechanism.
