Ferris Wheel Press FerriTales | King Midas Series | Age of Aurum Fountain Pen Ink

Everything he touched turned to gold — and so does the page. Age of Aurum is a warm champagne and golden brown ink laden with lustrous gold shimmer, evoking the gleaming, opulent world of King Midas at the height of his power. Rich, warm, and genuinely radiant on the page, it is an ink that transforms ordinary writing into something that feels precious. Part of Ferris Wheel Press's FerriTales: King Midas Series, Age of Aurum is for those who write as if every word is worth its weight in gold.

Ink Characteristics

Base Colour
A warm champagne with golden brown undertones — deep and bronze-gold in character, shifting subtly with paper and nib. Lustrous and sophisticated, the base colour reads as a rich, warm neutral that carries natural depth without relying on the shimmer alone.

Shimmer
Bold, expressive gold shimmer with strong, visible particles that catch light brilliantly on broad strokes and swabs. The effect is unambiguously golden — gleaming, metallic, and opulent. Shake well before use to distribute shimmer particles evenly; flush pens thoroughly after use, as shimmer particles may settle in the feed with extended use.

Shading
Low to medium shading — tonal variation visible across stroke widths, most pronounced on broader nibs and in large coverage areas, lending the ink additional warmth and dimension.

Sheen
No significant sheen.
