The clip is designed to match the straight lines of the body style with an extra flair, the center cut is in an elongated oval shape for ease of use. An exciting feature of this minimalist pen is the magnetic cap and posting, so secure and perfectly designed to the pen it creates a seal. No need to twist off, gently pull and enjoy the striking pop-action sound of the seal opening, then post to the back to experience the secure magnetic seal there as well.
