World Oceans - Arctic: 90 Degrees North - 4ml Fountain Pen Ink Sample

At the top of the world, colour behaves differently.

Inspired by the shifting light at the pole itself, where ice, sky, and sea blur into a single horizon. The base is a cool glacial blue layered with soft violet undertones, deepening to indigo shadows in heavier application like pressure beneath polar ice. A fine silver-gold shimmer scatters across the page like sunlight refracting through crystalline frost, flashing bright and icy in direct light and softening to a quiet pearlescent glow in shade. Calm, cold, radiant.

Try before you commit to a full bottle. Each sample is hand-decanted into a 4ml glass vial with a screw-top cap and a labelled colour name, so you can test the shading, sheen, and flow in your own pens on your own paper first.

This is a shimmer ink. Shake gently before each fill, and use it only in fountain pens that can be easily disassembled for cleaning. Dip pens and brushes are always a safe bet.
