Hazel A. ★★★★★

The powder blue color is really pretty in person, and the white lettering stays crisp even after using it for notes all day. It’s comfortable to grip, so I don’t mind having it on my desk as a constant reminder of my next reading session.

Leo ★★★★★

The gel ink writes so smoothly it makes my to-do list feel less offensive, and the white lettering hasn't chipped even after a week in my bag. It's my little nod to the book waiting on my nightstand every time I have to sign something at work.

Brian T. ★★★★★

The powder blue barrel is exactly the shade I’d hoped for, and the white lettering hasn’t smudged after a week of scribbling notes. It’s my excuse to sneak away from small talk and dive into a chapter.
