This pen writes very smooth! It does have a thicker line than expected. The box was disappointing as it was not anything of quality as stated. Considering the price if this pen and that it was to come with an elegant box, Olu would have been very disappointed giving this as a gift. But, it is just a box if you plan on using the pen for yourself.
Midori's MD Notebook line is one of the best products made by Midori. It is designed to be the most minimalist manifestation of a notebook. Designed without a hard cover and thread-stitched with only cheesecloth reinforcing the spine, the notebook opens flat, making it a pleasure to write in.
MD Paper has a history of over 50 years. Midori keeps improving the quality of paper. Its paper is famous for being bleed-resistant, feather-resistant, and fountain-pen friendly.
Please note that there is no cover attached with the notebook. This product is compatible with Midori's MD Notebook line of notebook covers in A5 size.
