Van Dieman’s Sailor’s Delight on Kokuyo Campus

Ink

Red sky at night, sailors’ delight.
Red sky at morning, sailors’ warning.

Wikipedia

Sailor’s Delight, from the discontinued Midnight Series, takes inspiration from the rhyme above. Although the ink is no longer in production, you can still find it being sold at some retailers (as of July 2022). The ink is a bright orangey-red with a wet flow.

On Kokuyo Campus paper,

  • Shading: Yes
  • Sheen: Nil
  • Feathering: Very little
  • Bleedthrough: A Lot
Writing Sample
