Nemosine is known for producing a few affordable fountain pens in a wide array of colors. The Nemosine Singularity is one of their more popular pen choices. The construction is in keeping with its price range, and while the pen itself feels really lightweight, the plastic feels solid enough to endure every day wear and tear. I chose to purchase the demonstrator version of this pen, and it looks great. There is a single visible seam running along the side of the body and pen cap, but it doesn’t take away from the overall look. The cap screws on easily enough and finds a snug fit so you can be sure it will not uncap itself. In keeping with the affordable nature of the pen, the packaging is kept simple. A small white box adorned with the name of the pen and the Nemosine logo comes filled with the pen itself, a converter, and 6 mini-cartridges.
I find that the pen has a very utilitarian feel to it. Due to the low-price of the pen, I feel very comfortable tossing it into a bag and taking it with me on trips. Although the pen is a bit too light for my liking, it is comfortable in the hand and easy to write with. The cap posts nice and deep so there is no risk of it coming loose and, while the added weight is nice, it does become a little back-heavy. The nib is moderately smooth, but one thing that prevents this from becoming a daily-carry for me is the flow. While the pen can put down a consistent line, I found that it is a fairly dry-writing pen. But many people consider purchasing this pen in order to convert it to an eyedropper. There is a distinct lack of holes in the pen body, so it is ideal for conversion. I would have thought that the screw threads were a bit too far apart, but I have read numerous success stories online, so it’s definitely worth a try. It may not be a must-have but, for the price, this is a great pen for someone looking for a simple, no-frills fountain pen to take to class or jot down notes at work (or convert into an eyedropper!)

Great photographs but I a small warning if anyone does want to convert to eyedropper as the plastic material is very thin from my exp.

Wow. These are absolutely gorgeous pictures. You make a $15 pen look simply amazing. I’ve experienced that these are a dry writer as well. I feel the same way, a lot of the little minor gripes are easily swept aside for the cost on the pen.

The detail on that nib is beautiful! I love the butterfly design! Makes me want this pen despite never having heard of it before now 😀

Using the 0.8mm stubb, and flow is not an issue, it gives a beautiful line variance in my writing. With a bigger italic nib my string of cursive eeees would bleed into the hole, with this 0.8mm stub they are clean and clear to read. Extremely functional straight out of the box with 6 black short cartridges giving a deep black that stands out like a broad nib but with class. The Std.Int. cartridges supplied give a deep black and with the flow of a nib bigger than EF nib, makes for an outstanding script. I believe the ink is Montverde Midnight Black should you want to continue with it. Threads on the grip section are barely felt which is great for my high grip position. Light and affordable, a great demonstrator for new comers or everyday users.
