is it ink? Letters seem aweful wide and blocky for a cartridge pen and ball pens weren’t widely available outside the military until after ww2. Maybe construction pencils like a carpenter’s pencil (heavy graphite) or a carbon black (tar and clay) which are both wide, tips?

Carpenter’s pencil might last a long while; but the paper?
