Ink Review #2768: Wearingeul Young Werther

/

Today’s final ink is Wearinguel Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe - The Sorrows of Young Werther. You can find this ink for sale at some retailers including Vanness Pens.

The color:

Young Werther is an interesting color! It’s somewhere in-between green, grey and blue.

*For my swab cards I use a Col-o-ring by Skylab Letterpress, a medium Pilot Ishime and a Mabie Todd Swan.

Swabs:

In large swabs on Tomoe River paper the ink looks more green than it does on the Col-o-ring swab.

Writing samples:

Let's take a look at how the ink behaves on fountain pen friendly papers: Rhodia, Tomoe River, and Leuchtturm, as well as on cheap copy paper.

*For my writing samples I use:

Dry time: 30 seconds

Water resistance: Low

Feathering: None

Show through: Medium

Bleeding: None

Other properties: low shading, no sheen, and no shimmer.

On 20 lb copy paper the ink had some feathering and bleeding in all nib sizes.

Comparison Swabs:

Young Werther is more blue than these other green inks. Click here to see the green inks together.

Longer Writing:

I used a Kaweco Sport Sage with a broad nib on a Taroko Enigma notebook. The ink has a slightly dry flow.

Overall, while this is an interesting color, the color looks different on every kind of paper. It’s too pale in the smaller nib sizes to be read comfortably (I’ve been liking smaller nib sizes lately), and it’s too dry to flow well. This is not an ink for me.
