17060 Cardinal Darkness Std Flex

The dark cardinal-red hue dries to a shade that shifts beautifully in low light, and the standard flex line variation is surprisingly easy to control on my daily notes. It’s become my go-to for journaling—smooth enough for quick writing, yet responsive when I want to add some flair.

The flex nib gives just the right amount of line variation for my daily journaling, and the dark cardinal tone is rich without being too heavy on the page. Dries reasonably fast too, which I appreciate when I'm in a hurry.

The dark cardinal shade is exactly what I hoped for—deep enough for everyday writing but with a subtle warmth that catches the light. It behaves well on cheap paper and doesn't feather, which makes this flex nib a real pleasure to use.
