Actually I didn't say so, but for a plain black pencil it does look kind of cool. They have done well with the tones of black, genarel shape and symmetry, etc. On the down side, the elliptical body is not particularly comfortable well they way I hold it anyway. 1.8mm square that sounds interesting. Almost as interesting as a Tomato Computer Pencil BOAP you can see Jawi script on Wikipedia and other places. The varying line width is a desirable feature. Funnily enough, I too thought it improved my handwriting! I used to have extremely neat handwriting as a child, and it just gets worse as time goes by. Pure laziness and a sloppy attitude. Every time I put a picture of my handwriting on this blog I always think, Damn, I should have written that neatly. But I can't be bothered re-shooting the photo, and next time I just forget to use my best handwriting and the cycle starts again! I do not learn the lesson of history.
