This mini ballpoint pen is short (4-inches) and lightweight (.6 ounces) to fit neatly in purses or pockets. It is also fat, about ¾-inch in diameter. That makes it easy for people with arthritis to hold for everyday writing, list making, letters, crossword puzzles, and suduko.
It has a medium sized point and writes with black ink. The ink cartridge holds slightly more ink than the Cross-type cartridges used in most mini pens but still not as much as your standard sized pen.
Made from shiny black plastic it is very discrete and does not look like a medical device. (Personally, I think it looks very elegant in black.)
