Mitsubishi is one of the world’s oldest and most accomplished pencil manufacturers, and to this day they’re always releasing new models. Uni Hittat! is a series of fresh designs inspired by Scandinavian textiles. ‘Hittat’ is Swedish for ‘found,’ and the exclamation point reflects the excitement of a new discovery.

Ideal for writing or drawing, Uni Hittat! pencils offer excellent line density, good point retention, and clean sharpening that’s because these affordable pencils are made in Japan, just like high-end Mitsubishi products.

Hittat! pencils are offered in 2B hardness, which is great for writing in script or making drawings and sketches in any style. The point wears more quickly than a standard #2, but in exchange you get darker lines and a smooth, enticing writing experience.
