Rediscover the joy of writing with the Penco Prime Timber, a premium mechanical pencil that combines the nostalgic feel of a traditional cedar pencil with the convenience of a modern lead holder. Often called "The Adult Pencil," it features a barrel made from high-quality American Incense Cedar, providing a warm, tactile grip and a natural wood scent that only improves with age.
Designed for exceptional balance, the Prime Timber is weighted at both ends with brass hardware while remaining light in the center. This "center-light" engineering reduces hand fatigue, making it perfect for long writing sessions or creative sketching. The pencil uses a thick 2.0mm lead, offering the smooth, rich stroke of a graphite pencil without the constant need for a traditional sharpener. Each pencil comes with its own specialized lead pointer, allowing you to maintain a sharp point for precision work or a rounded tip for bold shading.
Available in six sophisticated colours—White, Brown, Red, Yellow, Mint, and Blue—the barrel is elegantly inscribed with the message: "THE WARMTH OF WOOD ON PAPER." Whether you’re an architect, artist, or stationery lover, the Prime Timber is a timeless tool that brings soul back to your desk.

【ABOUT THE BRAND】
Penco is the premier brand of the Japanese stationery house Hightide, founded in Fukuoka, Japan, in 1994. The brand’s name—short for "Pen Company"—originally began with a single ballpoint pen inspired by classic American craftsmanship. Since its inception, Penco has grown into a world-renowned stationery line that celebrates the "Golden Age" of mid-century industrial design.
Penco is celebrated for its "Analog Architecture"—a philosophy that blends the rugged, functional aesthetics of 1950s Americana with the meticulous quality and clever engineering of modern Japanese manufacturing. Every product is designed to feel like a rediscovered treasure from an old hardware store or a vintage campus bookstore, offering a tactile and nostalgic experience for the digital age.
