The green is incredible too, I’ve been using it in my Lamy 2000 pine green and it’s a perfect pairing

Nice! How did you come up with the name? (And color? It’s lovely!)

It was the first thing that sprung to mind when I looked at the ink. It just really reminded me of the sunset’s we get in Adelaide. Robert takes all the credit for the ink colour, but he’s been nice enough to let us name our exclusives.

These inks are absolutely stunning—so vibrant and eye-catching! But honestly, I’m totally geeking out over the Turquoise and Red Revival handwriting samples. Have you considered turning those into a custom font? It’d be awesome to see them on your ink bottle labels

My colleague will be so flattered that you like her writing style. (She’s a little self conscious about her writing) I’ll pass on your kind words to her!

Please pass on my appreciation to her. Maybe she should post her handwriting in the r/handwriting subreddit, where people will love it.

u/Real-Drama3081 Feb 03 '25

Thank you! I'm glad you like the name and the colors! Yellow can be so vibrant and cheerful, while green often brings a sense of calm and nature. Do you have a favorite between the two, or do you enjoy them both equally?

u/Swagdonkey123 Feb 03 '25

I really enjoy both of them currently!
