Hi Melanie & welcome aboard.
I make mainly slimlines or streamlines as I mostly sell these & so they dictate the way I go.
Someone said slimlines don't have to be slim so I add a little bulk to mine but also try to give an elegant shape.
A good alternative to a slimline is a TM Delta which is a very nice pen which takes a Parker style refill & allows me to keep my signature shape.
