As you can see from my video, this writes very similarly to a regular ball-point pen, except it is just a tiny bit darker. Before I got my first Sharpie Pen, I worried that it would just be another Sharpie marker. But, it doesn't look at all like a marker when you use it. It really looks like a pen. If you look really closely, the tip still looks like a marker, but I think they use special ink and a process to get it to look almost exactly like pen writing and not marker writing.
When I first saw that it was "no bleed," I didn't believe it. Plus, I thought they were talking about how substandard pens will leak all over your fingers. When I was doing crossword puzzles on an airplane, with a ballpoint pen, then I'd always get leaky pen ink all over my fingers. I'm happy to report that this pen fulfills its promises, and doesn't bleed. It both doesn't bleed through the paper, and it doesn't get all over my hands when I'm doing crossword puzzles, even on an airplane.
It's extremely comfortable, lightweight, and doesn't take up much space. This feels so nice to write with and draw with, too. If you're wondering if 12 is too many, then it's not. I guarantee that you'll love this pen.
