Yellow isn't always the most legible or eye-friendly colour for ink... but I think this might be a beautiful base with a few drops of another ink to move it towards an orange, green, coral or brown. Or as a less neon highlight/accent.

I loved the pen choices here, Paulo. The ink is not bad if used on white papers. May I request you to just use a dip pen or at least dip a fountain pen and write during the ink reviews. Else, it's a lot of work to fill and clean them. Thank you.

I absolutely HATE "shading". I'm old enough to remember when an ink that "shaded was considered a bad, cheap, poorly formulated ink that only those who couldn't afford something better would buy. Then the marketers took over, shouted to one and all that "shading was a feature, not a bug, and as usual, they captured those young enough to be unaware of what "shading" was before the marketers came to town. The rest is history. But I still hate shading. To me, it's a sloppy mess that looks like it came from a one dollar pen found on the Walmart clearance isle. I'm talked to non-fountain pen users in business, and nearly all of them have the same opinion.

So I'm not crazy about this ink on that basis. It's also an unpleasant ink to read on many types of paper.
