Kaweco Skyline Sport Rollerball | Macchiato

The Kaweco Skyline Sport Rollerball is a compact rollerball made of plastic. The octagonal design dates from 1911 and has not changed since. This version is called macchiato: a warm, soft brown, named after the coffee. The tip and the ring are silver-coloured.

Small enough to carry everywhere

Kaweco's Sport series is built around writing instruments you take with you. The name Sport dates from 1911 and was chosen because the pen was designed for sportsmen, military officers and active people. With the cap on, the rollerball measures 10.5 cm and fits in an inside pocket or a case.

Post the cap on the back and the pen grows to full length and sits comfortably in the hand. That is the heart of the Sport design: small in your pocket, normal size on paper.

Between a ballpoint and a fountain pen

A rollerball writes with thin ink, like a fountain pen, but delivers it to the paper with a ball, like a ballpoint. The result is a fuller, darker line than a ballpoint gives, without having to mind a nib or handle ink cartridges. If you want the writing feel of a fountain pen with the convenience of a ballpoint, this is the middle model of the series.

Skyline or Classic: the difference

The Skyline Sport is the same pen as the Classic Sport, with one difference: the tip and the ring are silver-coloured instead of gold-coloured. That gives the pen a cooler, quieter look. The colours of the Skyline series are matched to it — softer and more restrained than the bright red and green of the Classic Sport.

The refill

The rollerball comes with a black 0.7 mm G2 refill. That is a standard size, so replacements are easy to find, in other colours and line widths too. Separate clips are available in silver, gold, bronze and black, so you can attach the pen to a notepad.

Macchiato

Macchiato is a colour you rarely come across on a pen: most are black, blue or silver. A warm, light brown therefore stands out without being loud — it is more a colour you leave lying on a desk than one that demands attention. Every model in the Skyline series comes in the same macchiato shade, so they can be combined.
