== Description ==
This project was launched by [[Studio Neat]] and is their first design of a pen (previously they had created the [[Cosmonaut]] stylus for touch-screen devices). This is not their first stationery-related product, as they had campaigned for the [[Panobook (Kickstarter Campaign)|Panobook]] notebook in 2017.

The pen is a metal-machined, minimalist pen with a click-action knock. The pen was designed around the [[Schmidt P8126 rollerball]] refill, with a custom, all-metal click mechanism<ref>https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/danprovost/mark-one-a-minimal-durable-retractable-pen Official Kickstart page and video</ref>. Although initially offered in only two color options (black with nickel-plated nock; white with copper), due to overwhelming demand the customization was expanded. Midway through the campaign, it was announced that either metal for the nock on either pen would be allowed, a total 4 possible combinations<ref>https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/danprovost/mark-one-a-minimal-durable-retractable-pen/posts/2159847</ref>.

The campaign surpassed the intended goal of $30,000 on the first day, with more than $50,000 by 5 p.m. EST.<ref>Kicktraq statistics http://www.kicktraq.com/projects/danprovost/mark-one-a-minimal-durable-retractable-pen/</ref> Studio Neat tweeted that this was their 'most successful single day of funding, ever'<ref>Tweet about the days' strong funding push https://twitter.com/studioneat/status/975833913879879681</ref>, after breaking the goal in under 2 hours.<ref>Official tweet in response to the mornings' funding https://twitter.com/studioneat/status/975767454285729798</ref>
