Exploring Uni-Ball Signo Gel Pens

There’s something very striking about bright white and right metallic artwork on a dark background, especially during the magical winter season. It’s particularly satisfying if you can create some yourself.

If you team our soft back black paper sketchbooks and uni-ball Signo broad gel pens you too can conjure up all manner of amazing pieces.

Artists, crafters and designers love these rollerball gel pens and, when you see them in action, you’ll know why. The uni-ball Signo Broad pen makes a creamy, opaque 1mm line that sits beautifully on light and dark paper and card. Because Signo metallic gel pens work so smoothly over paper and have an opaque finish they are perfect for all kinds of hand-lettering and illustration projects over black paper. The white Signo is also excellent for overlaying highlights to the text.

Creatives love the way the pens flow, with a consistent, smooth and skip-free line that’s a pleasure to work with. The Signo broad gel rollerball pen simply glides over paper when drawing and writing. This, and the fact that the white really pops on a dark surface, means it’s great for both quick sketching and elaborate, intricate designs in your black paper journal. Get started by trying simple dots and dashes with your Signos over the black surface – you’ll see how effective they look on page.
