Price range: See on Amazon

What we liked

  • + Earthy khaki tone darkens with age for an antique manuscript feel
  • + Gentler modern iron gall recipe is friendlier to pens than historic inks
  • + Generous 60ml bottle suits journaling as well as dip pen lettering

Trade-offs

  • - Olive-leaning shade is an acquired taste compared with a true black
  • - Nibs still need rinsing after use because of the iron content
