It has a very smooth and quite wet nib. Due to the fact it's a steel nib, it's robust too., thats why I prefer steel nibs over gold nibs. Its very light and ergonomical, but no as light as a plastic pen.
The aluminum body is pretty resistent against scratching through daily usage. The matte body feels very good, when holding it, though its not a 100% smooth surface, but that's a great help so it stay where it should.


I chose this color (matte grey) because its as close as you can get to a zeppelin/blimp and its great for business usage. The color is classy and elegant, but not simply black as always.

When choosing a nib size, keep this in mind: The nib width is oversized, this means a medium nib, which would create lines with 0,75mm line width, is more likely to be round about 0,8 to 0,85mm.
I normaly choose broad nibs (1mm line width), here medium.
(the infos I gave could vary, due to paper and ink properties)
