Swabs:
In large swabs on Tomoe River paper the ink has a little bit of brown sheen (that doesn’t show up well in photos).
Writing samples:
Let's take a look at how the ink behaves on fountain pen friendly papers: Rhodia, Tomoe River, and Leuchtturm.

Longer writing:
I used a Franklin-Christoph 45 Charcoal and Creme with a broad nib on a Taroko Enigma notebook. The ink had a slightly wet flow.
Overall, it’s just another black ink-nothing about it stands out from all the other black inks out there.
