Ink Review #550: L'Artisan Pastellier Callifolio Havane

How time flies! For my 550th review, I will be writing about Callifolio Havane, a light brown. I’ve switched back to using a Hobonichi A5 Cousin for my reviews.

Swabs:

This ink had low shading and no sheen. It’s an earthy, desaturated brown with a touch of orange/red.

This ink had a dry flow (like most L’Artisan inks), but behaved well.

Overall: Havane is a well-behaved pale brown ink. It would be great for a fall-themed palette.
