Leonardo Dodici No.6 Fountain Pen - Magmatica GT Stub 1.1
The Leonardo Dodici No.?6 Magmatica GT is a refined expression of craftsmanship, blending thoughtful geometry with a vivid, nature-inspired resin design. Handmade in Italy, this pen is part of the Dodici (“Twelve”) collection — its twelve-faceted barrel and cap evoke a sense of balance and harmony, reflecting the symbolic perfection of the number twelve.
Aesthetic & Inspiration
The “Magmatica” body features a swirl of deep blues, teals, and charcoal grays — reminiscent of seabeds meeting volcanic rock. This palette represents a dramatic, almost primordial union of sea and fire, capturing motion, depth, and natural force. Gold accents (“GT” = Gold Trim) elegantly frame the pen, lending a warm contrast to the cool, geological tones.
Construction & Build
Constructed from high-quality faceted resin, the dodecagonal (12-sided) profile not only reinforces the “Dodici” concept, but also provides a stable grip, offering both elegance and ergonomic balance. The cap is a screw-on type, ensuring a secure closure.
Nib & Writing Experience
Equipped with a #6 14K gold nib, this pen is available in Extra Fine, Fine, Medium, Broad, and a Stub 1.1 mm. For expressive writing, an Elastic (flex) nib is offered in #6 size. The nib works with an ebonite feed, ensuring consistent and reliable ink flow.
Ink System & Capacity
The Dodici Magmatica features an integrated piston-filling mechanism, providing a generous ~1.5?ml ink capacity. A transparent ink window along the barrel allows easy monitoring of remaining ink. The piston can be disassembled for maintenance, emphasizing long-term care and serviceability.

Writing Experience & Personality
The swirling resin finish gives the Magmatica GT a dramatic yet calm visual presence, reminiscent of the ocean floor lit by magma. The #6 nib offers a balanced writing experience — precise for everyday use yet substantial enough to feel luxurious. The flex nib provides line variation for expressive writing or calligraphic flourish. The piston system ensures fewer refills, while the ink window combines practicality with visual delight.
