Design

  • Personally, I find the design of the G-2 line to look cheap. Something about that colored top, clear barrel and colored grip appears amateurish.
  • The rubber grip is only slightly wider than the barrel and has “barely there” grooves on the lower half of the material. This suits me just fine since I do not like fat pens nor do I like a heavily textured grip.

Ink

  • A true grass green, a nice change for casual writing and to match your greeting cards.

Line

  • Gives a nice clean line that is easy to read, even helps makes sense of the scribble put out by those with sloppy handwriting.

Features

  • Retractable
  • Refillable
  • Available in many colors
  • One of the narrowest tips available, which is great for lefties and those who write fast and with many flourishes.
  • Rubber grip

Smear-Proof

  • This ink has only smudged on me when I ran my finger through freshly-laid ink. The narrow tip allows for quick drying time, faster than you would find with most other gel inks.

Pooling

  • The ink does pool quite a bit when resting on paper. This is bad if you like to hold your pen stationary while considering what awesome words of wit to next commit to paper.

Writing Time
The G-2 allows you to write long passages without skipping or dying out.
