Maiora has enriched the Ultra Ogiva series with the Maiora Golden Rule fountain pen, crafted from red and gold resin by Jonathan Brooks. The Ultra Ogiva series is named after the distinctive ogival shape of its cap: a sleek line, classic forms, and an oversized design.

The Golden Rule features Maiora's "The First" steel nib, adorned with subtle contrasting matte-glossy engravings and the Maiora star.

Maiora Golden Rule fountain pen: design and materials

The resin by Jonathan Brooks, an American artisan specializing in artistic resins for writing instruments, incorporates pigments and metallic powders in complex layers. Consequently, each piece exhibits natural chromatic variations that make it unique. The ogival shape of the cap, a distinctive element of the Maiora collection, gives the model an elegant and recognizable profile. The oversized dimensions also ensure comfort during prolonged use.

The "The First" steel nib of the Maiora Golden Rule fountain pen

The "The First" steel nib features decorative matte-glossy contrasting engravings and the Maiora star as a recognition element. It is available in four grades: EF, F, M, and B. This nib was developed internally by Maiora as an evolution of its technical research, suitable for various writing styles, from minute calligraphy to bold signatures.

Filling system

The pen is produced in two models: one with a piston-filling system, which guarantees high ink capacity and compatibility with any ink bottle; the other with a cartridge/converter, which allows for the practical use of standard cartridges. Both models also accept the entire range of inks available on the market.

J. Brooks Resin

The Maiora Golden Rule stands out for the extraordinary colors of the resin, mixed, brilliant, pearly and slightly glittery, always different from one pen to another, created by Jonathan Brooks.
These extraordinary effects result from the intensive use of multiple colors and "vortex" mixing techniques to produce the resin bars.
