Feathering: Medium

Bleeding: Low

Other properties: low shading, no sheen to medium sheen (Weinrot and Pinie) and no shimmer.

Longer Writing:

I used a Taroko Enigma notebook. All five inks had an average but watery flow.

Overall, there’s a bit more feathering than I prefer. Out of these five, Karamell is my favorite. It’s an interesting fall golden brown.
