Pennonia Amarillo Stationery Azul Frida

[Arsouille]

Another not-review! 

 

Medium / Royal Blues are a crowded space to say the least, but I was very positively surprised by Pennonia x Amarillo Stationery Azul Frida, after getting a sample from Gourmet pen over the weekend. 

 

I'd describe it as a royal blue with excellent shading, that ranges from a very vivid blue to a much dustier one. The flow is quite wet, and I would not recommend if you're going to write block letters with a wet nib on absorbent paper (e.g., Plotter's standard paper for me), but it works wonderfully well for cursive writing on drier papers (Midori and Clairefontaine in pictures below), and as for daily writing with a drier nib. 

 

Here are some samples, which again look darker than in real life. Also adding links to pictures that are much better than mine.

All in all, I might just have my standard royal blue, which for such a well-trodden color I never expected would come from a special collaboration between 2 very small corners of the industry (Pennonia and Amarillo).

Thank you for your not review!

 

It's not an ink I'll be running out to buy, but the shading and your handwriting are lovely!

Dear @Arsouille. I like your not-reviews - and especially your handwriting!

From time to time I like to use a certain blue ink. However, I'm so picky with those. Among so many blue inks almost none has the right colour for me. 🤭

Looking forward to see more of your handwriting.

Thanks!! I'm picky with blues too... It's probably the color in which I have most often emptied a converter filled from a sample before it was finished because I hated it. I was all the more surprised by how much I like this particular one.

@Arsouille thanks for the not review. While I love blue, I don't enjoy it in pens for some reason. But what I enjoyed most was the poem and your delicious handwriting 🙏
