Picture a Day: Mar 29

I got my first Pilot Prera today and had no idea how small it was. Even though Iโ€™d heard it was considered a pocket pen, and even saw a video recently about Preras with a size comparison to other pens, my brain never registered how small the pen is until I opened the box and saw it. ๐Ÿ˜…๐Ÿ˜† So cute! I inked it up with Jacques Herbin 1670 Bleu Ocean, which is a really good match for the Preraโ€™s transparent blurple accents.

I bought it specifically for its CM (Calligraphy Medium) nib which is a narrow italic nib. Itโ€™s only maybe one or two mm narrower than the stub nibs I have on my TWSBI and Kaweco Sport, but I feel itโ€™s more manageable with my small block print writing and the tiny grid on Hobonichi Hon pages. Quite happy with the purchase!
