I saw this model in new colors in Dromgoole's today. It's a GP nib though the colors shown here were not the ones in the store. If you like pastel colors, I'd look around and talk to your favorite sellers if you like the look of these pens. They're fairly small. About 200 size with enough range and comfort on the section to accommodate most users. Very lightweight and may feel a little "cheap" to some. But the colors I saw were very sweet. I wish I could find pics of them. They had a soft lilac, a kind of flesh color that I couldn't decide if I loved or hated, and a soft blue. My only problem was that D's only carried Mediums and I wasn't so into the pen that I was willing to buy a medium nib.

Again, these aren't fancy. They might make good starter pens though for someone young woman you might like to introduce to the hobby. the colors are similar to the Ipsilon pastel colors.

Now that I look for them and can't find them anywhere, I kinda wish I'd bought one - get the nib modified if need be. Oh well.

Could it be the Aurora Style?

I can't find the new colors online in english websites, but I was last month in a B&M in Torino and got it in hand.
Thet just made some new color, a lilac, a turquoise and something pinkish... all very light pastel colors, fresh and young.

You can see them here:

The pen is not that small imho, it carry the nib/feed group of the Ipsilon and it is approx same size. Nib only come in F/M/B size.

It cost less than the Ipsilon though, in Italy MSRP is around 40€ rather than 70€...

That's the ones. To me they are small when I consider that people think the 200 is small. Posted they're about in between an M200 and M600. Very lightweight and more streamlined than the Ipsilon. The plastic doesn't feel as substantial as I would like but for the price, they might be nice pens.

I've had one. Build quality wasn't bad, but the XF nib that I had in mine was pretty toothy until I smoothed it a little. I did notice a little bit of line variation, though, which I hadn't noticed on Aurora XF nibs before.

I think the M200 is actually not that small. It just has a small section, so it feels small and awkward in some hands.
