People who want a cheerful, compact fountain pen for notes, cards and everyday desk administration, and are happy with an M nib.
Skip it if
Skip it if you need an EF nib from this UK-selected version or cannot be bothered with cartridges and converters.
The full picture
Most desks are a low-grade graveyard of promotional ballpoints: half-dried, vaguely sticky and branded with firms nobody remembers contacting. The Lamy Safari Cosy Fountain Pen 020 is an entirely unnecessary correction to that bleak little scene, which is precisely why we made room for it.
This is the strawberry-red version of LAMY’s 2022 Cozy special edition. The strong red, matt body and matching clip, cap and spacer ring make it look deliberately chosen rather than excavated from the kitchen drawer. There is also a cream version in the series, for anyone who would like their handwriting ritual to resemble a very restrained pudding.
Under the colour, it remains a practical fountain pen: an ASA-plastic body, polished stainless-steel nib and ergonomically shaped grip. At 144 mm long and 16 g, it is a modestly sized bit of desk theatre rather than some ceremonial quill for announcing land ownership.
The selected UK version has an M nib and includes a LAMY T 10 blue ink cartridge. Bottled ink is possible with the recommended LAMY Z 28 converter, though that is an additional piece of administrative optimism. Our view: this is an excellent companion for people who want everyday writing to look a touch less like they have given up.
The Irresistible
- The strawberry-red matt finish and tone-on-tone clip, cap and spacer ring give the special edition a properly coherent look; no rogue shiny trim barging in to spoil the plan.
- It is a 2022 Cozy special edition, so the colour choice has an actual point beyond “the factory had red plastic that week”.
- An ergonomically shaped grip brings a practical consideration to what could otherwise have been a glorified desk ornament.
The Clever Part
- The polished stainless-steel nib and M-nib specification make the selected UK version straightforwardly defined rather than mysteriously vague.
- A LAMY T 10 blue ink cartridge is included, so it arrives with the necessary ink rather than a philosophical invitation to source some.
- The manufacturer recommends the LAMY Z 28 converter for bottled ink, giving committed ink-fiddlers a supported route beyond cartridges.
- Its 12 x 12 x 144 mm dimensions and 16 g weight keep the specification refreshingly restrained for a pen whose principal drama is being strawberry coloured.
The Fine Print
- The selected UK listing is M nib only; nib choice is not a detail to discover after becoming emotionally invested in the red cap.
- Using bottled ink requires the separately recommended LAMY Z 28 converter rather than merely deciding to become the sort of person who owns bottled ink.
The Reality Check
- Buyers who specifically need an EF nib should not treat this selected UK M-nib version as interchangeable with the EF version shown in the supplied US listing evidence. Tiny nib labels have a remarkable talent for becoming large regrets.
