Leonardo Momento Zero Grande Pura Frosted Red ST Fountain pen

Discover the refined elegance of the Leonardo Officina Italiana Momento Zero Grande Pura Frosted Fountain Pen—a striking evolution of the iconic MZG design. Following the success of the previous release and strong demand from collectors, the Pura collection returns in three sophisticated frosted (sandblasted) finishes: Petrol Blue, Grey, and Red. With its soft curves, geometric detailing, and Italian craftsmanship, the MZG Pura offers the perfect balance of aesthetics and performance.

Frosted Finishes & Premium Metal Trims

Each color—Petrol, Grey, and Red—is available in three luxurious metal finishes: Gold, Ruthenium, and Palladium, allowing you to tailor the pen to your personal style. The frosted surface enhances depth and texture, creating a contemporary matte look that contrasts beautifully with the polished metallic trim.

This new edition moves away from the traditional three cap rings and introduces a single engraved metal band with a three-dimensional pantograph design. The geometric engraving creates a refined visual contrast against the pen’s soft, rounded silhouette—an elegant nod to the classical era of “Geometric Art” (900–700 BC). The result is a fountain pen with distinctive character within the Leonardo collection.

Wide Choice of Nibs – Including 8mm Option

The Leonardo Momento Zero Grande Pura offers an exceptional range of nib configurations to suit every writing style:

6mm La Fenice Steel Nib (ABS feed)

Available in: EF, F, M, B, Stub 1.1, Stub 1.5, Elastic F, Elastic EF

6mm La Fenice 14kt Gold Nib (Ebonite feed)

The addition of the larger 8mm steel nib provides a bold writing experience, while the 14kt gold nib delivers softness, responsiveness, and superior ink flow.

Integrated Piston Filling System

The Momento Zero Grande Pura is equipped with an integrated piston filling mechanism, entirely produced in Leonardo’s workshops. With a generous 1.5ml ink capacity, it ensures extended writing sessions without frequent refilling. The piston unit can also be disassembled using Leonardo’s dedicated steel wrench, offering practical maintenance for experienced users.

Importantly, the barrel remains in direct contact with the ink, enhancing flow consistency and preserving the traditional feel fountain pen enthusiasts appreciate.
