Nouveau Bleu Estie

This is now my favorite pen to draw with! I have been wanting to get one for over a year now. It's so smooth...sooooo smooth and totally worth the wait. I know it won't be the last one I get!

The Esterbrook Estie SD Oversized in Palladium Blue Nouveau is absolutely beautiful in person. The finish has a rich, dimensional quality that feels elegant without being overly flashy, and the oversized body is extremely comfortable for longer writing sessions. I paired mine with the Techo nib, which is my first and only Techo nib to date, and I have been genuinely impressed. The writing experience is precise, controlled, and pleasantly tactile. The feedback is very deliberate without feeling scratchy, which gives the nib a refined and satisfying feel on paper. Overall, this is a gorgeous pen with excellent presence, comfortable ergonomics, and a nib that feels distinctive enough to make the writing experience memorable. I am very happy to have this one in my collection. -TheBotanicalPen

The pen is beautiful and is a great addition to my collection. I have four other Esties and they are all wonderful everyday writers. Unfortunately the Techo nib on this pen was a little scratchy and I had to smooth it a little to suit my writing style. It is a smooth, wet writer now but it feels more like a standard medium nib.
