Ink Review #788: Vanness Fountain Pen Day (2022)

Today we will be reviewing a special edition ink from Vanness. This sea-green ink was released to celebrate Fountain Pen Day (2022).

Swabs:

FPD is a bright, mint blue with low shading and no sheen. The color is a hair greener than Tono & Lims Bleu Macaroon and is a very close match to Standard Bindery: Clear Seas, as well as PenBBS #160 Mentha Aquatica.

Tomoe River Paper 52 gsm

I found FPD had a smooth, average flow. It was well-saturated (which sometimes is a problem with paler blues).

Overall: I really liked this color! It’s a refreshing minty teal that would be perfect for the summer.
