Pilot Envelope Address Writing Gel Pen

This pen writes on everything, but I use it most on coated washi tape and plastic film tape. Makes a very bold consistent line. Does bleed through most paper, but it's as close to a marker as a ballpoint gel pen can get so that's fair. But also

It's ugly. It looks like an advertisement for itself. It looks cheap-industrial. Hyper-utilitarian. Deeply out-of-place among even basic disposable pen aesthetics. A hide-it-in-the-drawer pen that I keep in a nice pen cup anyway because I use it so often. An ugly, perfect child.
