Ferris Wheel Press FerriTales | The Book of Knights Series | Citadel Dust Fountain Pen Ink

Citadel Dust conjures the atmosphere of ancient fortress walls and weathered stone — an earthy, mossy olive green with warm brown undertones that evokes aged parchment and grungy, sophisticated patina. Part of Ferris Wheel Press's FerriTales: The Book of Knights Series, this ink rewards the writer who values complexity over simplicity.

Ink Characteristics

Base Colour A muted, sophisticated olive green with warm brown undertones — earthy and nuanced, reminiscent of old castle stone or the yellowed pages of a forgotten manuscript.

Shimmer Rose gold shimmer particles catch the light at shifting angles, imparting a dusty, coppery luminescence. Shake well before use. Best expressed through broad nibs or dip pens for maximum effect; shimmer inks should be shaken or stirred periodically during use.

Shading Medium shading reveals a visible gradient from lighter to deeper olive tones, adding dimension and depth to every stroke. Most pronounced on broader nibs and ink swabs.

Sheen A warm brown sheen surfaces on premium papers and with broader nibs, complementing the base colour and shimmer to create a richly layered visual experience.
