This ink had low shading and no sheen. The color is a watered down blue-grey that leans towards the blue end of the spectrum. It reminds me of cloudy days.

I was blown away by this writing sample. The flow was wet but incredibly smooth. My pen glided across the page.

Overall: I absolutely loved this ink. It’s water resistant, lightfast, and has an insanely smooth flow. I definitely recommend trying out a sample!
