@freemo i look at the A from Apple and its the ... huh? Purple? Isnt it black?
@psychonaut Its a dark purple, but not black. But what about the A?
@freemo the twist in the horizontal line has a nicer change from wide to small, there are more places like that in the text, i like that
@psychonaut I'm not sure if thats the pen or me. I have more practice with the pen that produced the purple text. So I will likely just produce smoother transitions from practice alone. But it is also a much softer nib. Isnt so good at the hairlines though.
@freemo i know what you mean, but then you have to do more practice with the new pen before you make a comparison with them. Otherwise, you wouldt get happy with the result. For yet, it loook like you have two different pens. ;) And you can produce very good transitions with this soft nib. ๐
@psychonaut True, i would need more practice to really compare. I.m considering more the line variation potential. The purple is a 115 year old waterman but the nib is a medium, maybe fine. The other is a modern Falcon nib, much stiffer but it is Extra Fine nib.
On the one hand i do like the finer hairlines out of the falcon nib. But im not sure I can get the sort of line variation I want out of it.
@psychonaut My handwriting used to be nonexistant. But have been practicing a lot lately. I keep buying pens and never can find the perfect one. These two are the best so far.
