Reach further, even if that means for more pens, right? In my new (second) DIY Planner I decided to "change things up" and try some new pens: the Stabilo 30 point 88 Fineliners. My thoughts after this swatch video.
Previously I've used the Staedtler Triplus Fineliners and LOVED them!
However, when I tried the Stabilo Pens, I LOVED THEM EVEN MORE!
Here's Why:
- I noticed I was able to hold the pen at different angles to write. With my Staedtlers I was limited to holding the pen exactly perpendicular to the paper to be able to write.
- The pen is more than three-sided, so it allowed for better "grip-shifting". Constantly rotating your pen is kind of a side effect of lettering. With the Staedtlers having only three sides, I was more limited in what were "comfortable" grip positions.
- The color selection / range of colors was better with the Stabilos. Granted the neon pens (and yellow) were pretty much worthless, I did like the color options more on the Stabilos
Full Disclosure: the list above is not arranged how the pens arrived. I took it upon myself to put them in that order. The Pen Swatches also exclude the neon colors as well as Yellow & Apricot as they did not appear on the page. (Color Number and Names were found off multiple pins from Pinterest)
