From the turn to the point.The mechanism of the writing and drawing instrument is made in Germany: When the twis-table head is turned, the chuck opens at the tip and the graphite is pushed forward at the same time. When the twist mechanism is released, the chuck closes and holds the graphite in place.Inside the Drehgriffel Nr. 2 there is also a chamber that holds several refills at once and immediately pushes the next one forward when the other has been used up.

Dreh Griffel: a clever wordmark that incorporates a play on words. The design of the ‘Drehgriffel’ wordmark draws inspiration from ‘Stterlin,’ a German lettering style developed in the 1920s for handwriting instruction. The intentional juxtaposition of the wordmark’s old-fashioned German style creates an engaging contrast with the modern design. The compound German word ‘Drehgriffel’ combines two elements: ‘Dreh’ (referring to the innovative twist mechanism) and ‘Griffel’ (a reference to the ancient Greek writing tool, the ‘grapheion’). This combination clearly reflects the deep roots of LEUCHTTURM1917, a traditional German company. It is not a coincidence that the birth of the Drehgriffel and the establishment of Leuchtturm Album Publishing House both trace back to the 1920s.
