The hexagonal cedar body is finished in a matte cream lacquer that matches the ivory tone of MD Paper, giving the pencil a quiet, cohesive presence that suits the unhurried, considered quality of the MD range. The only text on the barrel is a discreet engraving reading \"MD PAPER PRODUCTS\" — no grade markings, no flourishes, nothing that competes with the simplicity of the object itself.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eThe B grade graphite is the natural choice for the MD Pencil's intended use — soft enough to write and sketch with a fluid, expressive feel, and dark enough to read clearly on MD Paper's cream-toned surface. It pairs particularly well with the MD Notebook's smooth, fountain pen-friendly paper, which brings out the depth and expressiveness of a soft lead as well as any paper in the range. The set of six arrives in a minimal flat card package.

The matured micro graphite lead is smooth and dense, producing a consistent mark that writes more softly than comparable grades from other manufacturers — a quality that makes it particularly pleasant for extended writing sessions.

It holds a sharp tip well through extended writing, produces a clean, fine line that stays legible without smearing, and is particularly well suited to precise handwriting, form-filling, and any task where neatness and point retention matter. The 9800 F has earned a quiet following among those who write neatly and deliberately — it rewards that kind of hand. Hexagonal cedarwood barrel, no eraser.
