Rohrer and Klingner sketchINK® Jule
These pigmented inks are purported to be both lightfast and waterproof and are designed for sketching. Jule is la lighter version of Super5 Australia.

Truly delightful both on Midori and TR 68, the papers I use most often, but equally great on all types of paper.

Like other inks of this series, Jule is wet, and well lubricated. Compared to Super5 Australia, it feels dry. But on its own, truly excellent.
Dry time in my experience is on the longer side. However, it can be mitigated with finer nibs, drier pens or more absorbent paper.
You can check Chrissy’s excellent review (https://fpgeeks.com/forum/showthread.php/27312-Ink-Review-Rohrer-amp-Klingner-sketchINK-Jule), where in her experience dry time is on the shorter time ;)
I prefer this series with modern flex, or wide nibs where I get more character out of these inks.
However, it is imperative to use pens with a good seal, otherwise you need dip your nib under water to keep it running again.
