Ink Review #655: Stipula Calamo Saffron Yellow

Today’s review will be on a new-to-me ink company! Stipula hails from Florence, Italy and has been making inks and fountain pens since the 1930s.

Swabs:

Saffron Yellow is named after the spice saffron, which originates from the saffron cricus thread. This ink had medium shading and no sheen. I would describe this as a pleasant golden orange.
