ABOUT THE OLO FINE NIB PROJECT
The OLO Fine Nib is being developed through a community-supported campaign. Below, OLO founder John Darland shares more about the project, the campaign, and the path toward production.
Dear OLO Community,
Since the earliest days of OLO, one question has been asked more than any other: “When will OLO release a Fine Nib?” And now, we're excited to finally say: It's happening. We are preparing to launch the new OLO Fine Nib system across the full 256-color OLO range, making this one of the most ambitious projects in OLO history.
Because of the scale of producing all 256 Fine Nib colors, quantities from the first production run will be limited. To begin manufacturing, we first need to secure enough reservations to move the project forward. Once that goal is reached, production will begin, with deliveries projected to start in Spring 2027.
Rather than releasing only a small number of colors or delaying the project indefinitely, we've chosen to create a special Fine Nib presale to help bring the complete 256-color system to life.
This project represents years of conversations, testing, engineering, and planning alongside the OLO community. We are deeply grateful for the support, encouragement, and patience artists around the world have shown us throughout that journey.
We can't wait to place Fine Nib markers into your hands.
With sincere gratitude,
John Darland
