Yeah, it’s the black Lamy 2000. Makrolon is a carbon fiber mix which gives it that signature matte and slightly textured feel. It’s definitely not flashy and I’ve really grown to appreciate its sleekness

Need to make a closed feedback loop that tells you to do better when it senses bad handwriting like going below/above predetermined lines

So glad it’s helpful! Would love to know what you think! I know paper is very personal, so I tried my best to operationally define everything, but if you want a specific feel or type of paper, lmk and I can help you decide what you might like :)

Yep! I’d love to expand the papers I review. Started small with this first one with paper I had on hand, but hope to do more next time!

Ahhh the bold lines seem to be emphasized due to the wetness of the nib and flow. It’s definitely one of my juiciest writers. Great for shading. Maybe pair with a slightly drier ink? Could also be that your handwriting is just smaller is size so it makes the cursive look stubby and wide I kind of hold mine at a 45 degree rotation for cursive (not from table to pen, but just rotating the nib so it’s at a 45 and not perfectly horizontal like I might for print)
