Longer writing:

I used a Pelikan M805 Vibrant Blue with a broad nib on a Taroko Breeze notebook. The ink had an average flow.

Overall, I love the color of this ink! It has just a bit of green in it as well as some pretty shading and sheen. I’m tempted to buy a full bottle of this one, I really enjoyed it.
