This ink had an average flow. The color is legible and bright without being overwhelming. The purple reminds me of grape candy and is pleasing to the eye.

Overall: I prefer grey-toned inks, so this ink wasn’t a winner for me. I don’t have much to say about it; it is a Barney-purple with some shading.
