I liked this ink a lot! The yellow shade is dark enough to be legible, and the warm tones give this ink an autumn-fall feel. This had a slightly wet, smooth flow.

Overall: Overall I would say that this is one of my favorite inks from the L’Artisan series. I see myself using this alongside 3 Oysters Delicious Mustard. It had good shading and an even flow.
