Cello Signature Carbon Ball Pen

Great pen, writes nice and smooth, just what I was looking for! Thank you!

Pen snob here. This is a perfect multi-purpose pen, made by Cello which is a BIC company. What I mean by multi-purpose is it looks and feels amazing, is high quality, yet doesn’t break the bank and it’s not a big deal if you happen to lose it as long as you can find another. This is a great pen for everyday use and any occasion. It’s very comfortable to write or sketch with, and the fine point “nib” creates clean, crisp lines and allows for variation when shading. This compensates for the almost hybrid-like ink (not typical ballpoint ink but not gel), but a range of more than 3 values takes practice and technique. You can use this pen for pretty much anything and look fancy while doing so. ;-) The matte black body is definitely on-trend. For the price, this is an excellent buy. I highly recommend trying it out. It comes with a plastic case—nothing fancy, but looks nice enough and will keep it clean.Here is my detailed review on a scale of 1-5 (5 being best). I’m also including the photo as a sample of the pen’s range, minus calligraphy or significant writing samples. I’m an artist and primarily use ballpoint for that, but it’s a clean writer I would definitely sign something with or take notes with if needed. It’s good for everything.• Body: 5/5, matte black, carbon, twist mechanism• Design: 4/5, plastic joints, tip, clip, still looks good• Weight: 5/5, substantial, feels high quality• Balance: 5/5, balanced right at center segment• Feel: 5/5, smooth texture, doesn’t feel cheap• Nib: 5/5, Fine, micro tip rollerball-ballpoint hybrid• Ink: 4/5, Blue, very smooth, no skips, can smudge• Smoothness: 5/5, glides across the page easily• General Writing: 5/5, clean lines, comfortable• Calligraphy: 4/5, ink can build up and blob on tip• Drawing & Shading: 3/5, takes techniqueClassy, smooth, balanced and solid carbon weight, plus cheap without being cheap. Win-win. I love it!
