05 / Studio Picks — February

This month's pairing.

"I've been reaching for Kiri-same on Tomoe River every morning this February. The grey reads almost blue in cold light, and the sheen the River paper gives it makes every hairline feel like it's lit from within. Pair with a Leonardt Principal for Spencerian — the flex is just honest enough."

— Mia Okafor, Founder

One perfect kit.

Answer honestly. We'll assemble a bundle matched to your script, your hand, and your colour instinct — no generic starter packs.

Question 1 of 3
