An excellent evolution of the 3776 Century
The Travia is an updated re-issue of the Limited Edition Century 3776 released for the 10th Anniversary of the Century. I love my Platinum Century 3776 10th Anniversary pen, the slight bounce of the nib and the chalk like feedback on most paper are two things I really enjoy about the pen. This update to the pen keeps the best aspects of the Anniversary pen while adding a few tweaks.
First, the Travia has weight added to the pen body to move the pen’s center forward. The weight adds almost 10g over the 10th Anniversary pen and 12g over my Platinum 3776 Series B. There are actually two weights. The grip section is one weight, the metal band + body threads that connect to the grip is the second; the grip is the heavier of the two. When separated neither feels particularly heavy but together the weight is noticeable until the nib is about to meet the paper and then it disappears. I don’t know if this will be a positive or negative for long writing sessions but for my testing it made me more aware of the pen as I held it because every time I lifted the nib off the paper the weight at the front of the pen pulled at my grip - not in an uncomfortable way but in a “Hey, I am here” way.
The nib of the Travia has the same “softness” that the 10th Anniversary nib does but less of that feel of “writing with sharp chalk.” The writing experience with the Travia on Rhodia and Kokuyo Business Paper is excellent. The difference in the “feel” of writing between the two nibs, with that slight chalky feedback, is kind of like the difference between hearing bass on a mid/full range speaker and on a sub-woofer (the Travia being the sub-woofer).
What is FLAF? The Float Like A Feather “softness” is not a flex softness, it is more about not feeling a stiff firmness when you press the nib against paper. The “softness” of the nib is similar to what you would feel writing with a Pilot Custom 67 or Pilot Kaede. The Aurora flex nib is slightly softer, a Pilot FA nib is significantly softer. I can’t think of anything else I have that has the same kind of softness except the 10th Anniversary edition of the pen.
One last comment on the weight, the way the weight is engineered brings to mind the Nagasawa Sailor 1911L Realo FL. It has a brass grip which creates an effect similar to the Travia but my Realo is only ~23g vs the ~33g of the Travia.

Platinum Century 3776 Fountain Pen - Travia - Limited Edition Set
Gorgeous
A gasp inducing deep color of green, but with just enough “vegetal” energy to make it look like a deep matcha on paper.

Beautiful Ink
I love the color of this ink but I was looking for one that was closer to turquoise and went with ama-iro instead. I truly appreciate that Yoseka makes all of these ink samples available!

I'm enjoying writing with this pen
I like the simplicity of this fountain pen, and the contrast between the stainless steel cap and cream colored body. I use it with Midori notebooks and the medium tip writes very smoothly.

This Ink Has a Secret!
In an EF or F nib, this lays down (mostly) a lovely neutral gray, dark and moody like a storm cloud. But, in a larger nib or with a water brush, it shades light and flowery green and pink, with lots of drama. It’s so much fun to use!

Soft and pretty
This ink is so soft and pretty. It is legible and flows nicely out of the nib.

My first fine tip TWSBI, and it’s one of my favorites. I love the colorway—the onyx highlights the blue nicely in a way you wouldn’t expect.

TWSBI ECO Fountain Pen - Slate Blue Onyx Trim
I’m keeping this in my pen case for on-the-go jotting. It’s great that the leather case prevents the corners of the note pad from being creased or bent.

I like that it’s clear to demonstrate the ink, and also a rollerball pen. I’m excited to get more use out of my inks this way!

I love the weight of this pen. The piston itself is also that icy blue, so filling up the pen is really fun!

Don't know why I held out so long buying this ink its so wonderfully beautiful and unique. Never used such a light coloured ink with such amazing flow. Why does it have to be a limited release lol

Smooth writing nib
I love a gold nib. The supplied steel nib wrote fine but the gold nib glides across the page.
