The Ti Arto is wider, and I find it much more comfortable to use. The PHX pen was pretty much a steel bar with a refill and it was pretty heavy. The Pen+Stylus had a really slim grip that I never got used to using. My favorite part about the Ti Arto as compared to the rest of the Bigidesign pens I’ve used is the feel in hand. After 19 successful Kickstarter projects, it’s apparent that Bigidesign know what they’re doing when making a new product.
The tolerances throughout the rest of the pen are tight and precise. Since the refill is secured at the tip, a wide range of refill types can be used, even the slim D1. I’d like to see a squishy o-ring or something in there simply from an aesthetic point of view.Īs you can see, this Pentel Energel refill is held on by the clutch mechanism. The only thing I’m not wild about is the gap between the grip and the body when using a wider tipped refill.

The Ti Arto allows for a full range of customization. Some pens write with the refill too far back into the body. You can also control how far out you’d like the pen tip to be. This mechanism allows you to use a multitude of refills without trimming or shimming. As the grip is screwed in, the “arms” close until they grab the refill. It’s kind of like on a drill when you’re changing bits. Included with the pen is a felt sleeve with the brand’s logo. The clip is a nice shape, and sits low in a pocket. There’s an o-ring by where the cap screws on, which eliminates that metal-on-metal grinding that titanium so loves to do. The pen looks sleek, as it’s made from titanium. The tighter the grip, the smaller the hole for the refill to go through. This gap is a necessary part of the design, as it allows the internal clutch mechanism to fluctuate in size.
The grip has some grooves machined into it for both tactile feedback and to disguise the gap between the grip and body. It’s wider than the Pen + Stylus and has more going on than the PHX pen. The Ti Arto is my favorite looking pen that Bigidesign has released. Thanks to Chadwick and Joe over at Bigidesign for sending me this pre-production model to take a look at!
