Visconti’s Oiran ink from the Van Gogh collection is a deep, rich purple that leans slightly toward the darker side without feeling too heavy. On the page, it has a confident presence, with a tone that feels refined rather than overly bold. There’s just enough warmth in the color to keep it from looking flat.
The ink flows smoothly through a fountain pen, making writing feel easy and consistent. As it dries, you may notice some gentle shading, especially on higher-quality paper, where lighter and darker tones of purple start to show through. It adds a bit of character without taking attention away from the writing itself.
Like the rest of the Van Gogh range, the bottle has a slightly textured design that reflects the artistic theme behind the collection, giving it a distinctive look on a desk.
