De Atramentis: Sherlock Holmes

[akszugor]

Present test ink De Atramentis dedicated Sherlock Holmes. Ink very well written, pen glides nicely after page. No bleed through and good drying time, it is the color of the most important assets of ink. This is in compliance. Although color is a matter of taste, but this is perfectly suited for me. I would recommend fans of blue-black.

akszugor,

 

You are doing some great stuff! Thank you! I really like De A inks and I like seeing your reviews. Keep up the good work.

I bought this ink for the Sherlock Holmes name. It's also called Night Blue. It's a great dark blue that could be mistaken for black especially in F and EF nibs. Even though I bought it purely for the name, I do like the color.

 

Thank you for the review.

[amberleadavis]

WOW, this is a great review.

Not to bring up a dead topic but I must know what script you did the title in?

[inkstainedruth]

I tried this ink early on in my foray onto FPN, based on a review someone had done. But I found I didn't really care for the color. It just didn't seem to have the "oomph" (for lack of a better word) that I was looking for at the time.

Thanks for the review, though. There are probably people for whom this is the ideal blue-black.

If I could only have 1 blue, this would be it. After 1 hr of writing I ordered another bottle. The name doesn't hurt either.

If I may answer that. It's the Muenchner Fraktur by Manfred Klein.

It's a Freefont.

Manfred Klein has produced many nice, well-made Fonts.

Nice review! Thanks a lot!
Mixed feeling about this ink. Probably not a shade that I'd use that often.

[Morbus Curiositas]

Very Very awesome Review

 

I am working on a great comarison of ALL De Atramentis Standard inks.

 

I will have to look up on what ink this great Sherlock Holmes ink based

 

Judig from the scren I'lld Say De Atramentis Indigo.

 

As Soon as the Comparison off all inks is published I will give the opportunity to request a postcard written with the inks you would like to see in real.

The bottle indicates Night Blue as the alternate name. I looked at the De Atramentis website color chart. No Night Blue, but there was a Midnight Blue.
