São Paulo. Pens, paper, and the small rituals of writing by hand.

Paper

three of these have nothing to do with paper and i'm not sorry, the bikes just felt right next to the ink review somehow. also still thinking about that misfill zine, might reread before bed.

Paper

the yeat thing snuck in from a shared clipboard, ignore that one. otherwise this stack is turning into a pen problem — the parker 51 might be the one that finally makes me stop hoarding nibs i never use.

Desk rituals

three fountain pens, one bad fineliner, and a midori notebook still in its cellophane because i can't bring myself to open it yet. the paper's too nice to ruin with a bad translation day.

Ink

finally added the esterbrook to this stack, been writing with it for two weeks and my hand hasn't cramped once. still deciding if the nib is too soft for how heavy i press when translating dialogue.
