Our homage to the design aesthetic commonly known as synthwave, outrun, or simply "Miami Vice" offered in both Night and Day vibes with an emphasis on gradient fades, bright accents, and, of course, palm trees.
AVAILABLE FROM JULY 30 UNTIL SEPTEMBER 30, 2024
Pick Your Poison
Whether you're a sand and surf beachgoer or one who appreciates the after dark scene, our goal with the Vice Seasonal Release was to leverage bright, neon colors and gradient fades to evoke the distinctive, retrofuturistic 80s synthwave vibes. From movies like Tron and Back to the Future to South Beach, art deco-esque architecture, the style is somewhat of a contradiction – a throwback to past attempts of reimagining modern and future visual styles. While tastes have changed, there remains a place (and demand) for geometric grid lines, bright colors, stylized sunsets, and, yes, the iconic palm tree. Offered in both a sinful Night and beachy-keen Day version in all three Side Click lengths for a limited time.
Note: Save 10% when ordering 2 or more Vice pens
For the first time, we're offering 2 perspectives around a common theme with Night and Day versions of Vice. Both feature gradient fades, pops of color, palm tree clip engravings, and overall good vibes. Jig it out, uh.
Cerakote is a thin coating of ceramic that's applied to the surface of our titanium pens. It's abrasion, chemical, temperature, and scratch-resistant but not proof. Hard wear will still show on Cerakote but we love that it gives us the ability to put colors on our pens without adding serious weight or thickness.
LOVE IT!
My first Tactile Turn pen. Works great and looks amazing! Glad I was able to grab one of these one offs.
This pen has lived up to its name. Like Close Encounters, people are drawn to the glowing UFO and cannot resist investigating. Then they get it in their hands and write with it and next thing you know, you’re tracking down your spaceship pen. Maybe next a starship or US Rocket pen. Then again, that might be two pens to have to keep an eye on.
Excellent workmanship as always
Awesome pen!!!
Bolt action is very smooth, short size is just large enough in the hand, and the green accents really pop in all light conditions. Exactly what I hoped for.
Around 1996 me own dear sweet mother gave me a UFO Perfect Pencil by Faber Castell, and I remember clear as yesterday hoping one day to find the perfect matching pen to go with it. Well, now thanks to a Tactile Turning, with a little buff and polish, I am the proud user of both a UFO Pencil and a matching Rowell Pen. My set is finally whole, it took 30 years but the moment that pen and pencil met they were the best of friends and now explore the universe of ideas together in a most joyous of revelries toward discoveries both here on earth and places far deeper into the night skies.
one of my favorites, love it
Very well made and I love the alien theme. I appreciate how accessible refilling the ink is. It is a standard size and the ink it comes with is common enough that it isn't a problem to order more
Great feel and very high quality
If you're tuned into our Limited Release drops of exotic treatments and materials, you probably noticed that they tend to sell out pretty fast. Seasonal Releases are much easier to get your hands on because, instead of a set quantity, they're available for a set period of time. No fast fingers required or having to dip out of that important work meeting to try and snag one from your phone in the bathroom.
