Review Title: Leonardo momento zero Alga ST

This pen is a real eye-catcher with beautiful, intense shades of light and dark green! It writes very smooth and I can write long letters and journal pages easily!

For the last two years I have been eyeing the Leonardo MZ but I didn't like the available colors that much. However that changed with the 2021 versions Prugna and Alga. I chose the Alga because I thought it would match wonderfully with my favorite ink Iroshizuku Shin-Ryoku, and it does. The material is beautiful and unique with darker and lighter parts. The section of the pen is a bit strange and it took me a little while to get used to it. Not going to lie, it isn't my favorite section, that is probably because it is a bit narrow for my larger hands. I bought my pen with a medium nib and had it tuned and smoothed by Appelboom. It writes perfectly without skipping or hard starts. It is a bit on the finer side of mediums and I like broad(er) nibs generally so I will probably be buying a seperate broad nib soon. The Leonardo MZ Alga ST is overall a very nice and solid pen for a relatively affordable price.

I absolutely love the resin. It is striking. The move to JoWo nibs has made this pen one of my favourites. It’s comfortable to use and always writes. Great stuff!

This is my third Leonardo pen and is now my favorite! The design and engineering on all the Leonardos are excellent, and I prefer the regular Momento Zero over the Grande because it is a bit smaller and less girthy without sacrificing quality. I appreciate the understated silver tone finish on the pen but the real winner for me is the resin. This is a gorgeous spaghetti resin with a lot of chatoyancy and the green is a true green — not blue-green and not yellow-green, but a solid mid-range green that is really reminiscent of something organic — the pen color is called “alga” to reflect the deep color of algae or seaweed — but it also makes me think of forest green. It’s like holding a dark leaf in your hand; it’s that beautiful. Great writer too!

Review Title: Beautiful pen

A beautiful hand-turned acrylic pen that writes well with the updated Jowo threaded section nib. Wonderful, as always, customer service by Appelboom.
