Stabilo CarbOthello is a pastel crayon designed for artists, art students, and hobby creatives. It offers a wonderfully dry and dusty stroke similar to charcoal. With a lead diameter of 4.4 mm, it can be mixed and smudged dry, while contours remain visible. The crayon is brilliant even on dark backgrounds and sensitive paper. Its high pigment content ensures strong luminosity and opacity, along with excellent lightfastness and color brilliance. The wooden sheath helps prevent lead breakage.
