Interesting Facts
The Ipsilon model is Aurora's entry-level resin pen, named after the Greek letter Y (Ipsilon) which the clip design represents. Aurora is one of the few Italian companies that still manufactures their own nibs in-house.
Overall Assessment
A reliable, stylish everyday carry pen that represents classic Italian design. The steel nib Aurora produces is known for its pleasant feedback, often compared to the feeling of a pencil on paper.
