Lamy AL-Star

Made of durable anodized aluminum with Lamy's transparent ergonomic grip, the AL-Star delivers that clean German design you can spot across a room, complete with the brand's distinctive spring loaded clip. Light in hand, built for daily use, and refreshed regularly with rotating special colours, this is the modern workhorse pen that looks as good as it writes.

The polished steel nib (EF, F, M, B) offers a reliable, everyday writing feel, and swapping sizes is straightforward. Fill with Lamy T10 cartridges or snap in the Z28 converter for bottled ink, both are the correct, brand specific fit for the AL-Star. That combination of easy maintenance, sturdy construction, and modular options makes the AL-Star an ideal daily writer for students, professionals, and pen fans alike.

The AL-Star balances form and function with a fluid, dependable writing experience suited to quick notes and longer journaling sessions alike. The stainless steel nib glides smoothly, delivering consistent lines without skipping or hard starts. That transparent grip is not just comfortable, it lets you see your ink in action, a subtle detail that has helped make this series a long standing Lamy favourite.

The AL-Star family goes well beyond the fountain pen. The same design language appears in the rollerball and ballpoint models, a 0.5 mm mechanical pencil, and the AL-Star EMR digital stylus that uses Wacom EMR tech for compatible tablets and devices. Rollerballs take the M63 refill, while ballpoints use the M16 refill, so you can keep the look you love across different writing modes.

Classic finishes like Graphite sit alongside seasonal special editions such as Denim, Petrol, or Aubergine that rotate in and out of production. Spot a favourite shade? It is worth picking up before it disappears, as many colours become sought after once they leave the regular line up.

Whether you reach for a fountain pen, rollerball, or ballpoint, every AL-Star shares the same precision engineering and modern aesthetic. Fountain pens include stainless steel nibs in several sizes, while rollerball and ballpoint versions use Lamy's proprietary refills for effortless ink delivery.

Explore signature finishes like Graphite, Ocean Blue, and Cosmic and choose the combination of colour, nib size, and writing mode that best reflects your personality and how you write day to day.

To keep your AL-Star performing at its best, use genuine Lamy cartridges, bottled ink, and refills. Cleaning the pen periodically, especially when changing colours, helps maintain consistent flow and keeps the feed clear.
