Wearingeul's Faust (Johann Wolfgang von Göthe) is a black fountain pen ink. It could be argued that Wearingeul's fountain pen inks produce the most dramatic and stunning ink swatches in the business. We've all seen the pictures on r/fountainpens: shimmering, shading, glistening on some fancy ink swatch paper, beckoning us to buy just this one more ink. About Wearingeul's Literature Ink Collection If you don't know the background, Wearingeul’s Literature collection is inspired by classic works—each ink channels a specific book, poem, or character, then expresses that mood on the page through interesting hues and unique ink effects. Depending on the color, you’ll see nuanced shading, dramatic sheen, or glistening shimmer that feels like a little moment of book-magic every time the nib moves. Crafted in Korea, these inks are designed for creative notes, journaling, letter-writing, and any place you want your handwriting to carry a narrative tone as well as a color. A broad range of literature-inspired colors, from quiet, readable everyday hues to show-stopping special effects. Many shades feature shading, sheen, or glistening shimmer; others are smooth, non-shimmer formulas for classic daily writing. How to use fountain pen shimmer inks If you're new to fountain pen ink that contains shimmer, here are a few tips: Gently roll or shake the bottle (and pen/converter) before use to disperse particles; broader/wetter nibs show effects more strongly. Use fountain-pen-friendly paper to highlight shading, sheen, and shimmer. As with all effect inks, clean pens regularly and avoid letting ink dry in the feed; when in doubt, pick an easy-to-disassemble modern pen for shimmer-heavy colors. Whether you gravitate to a subtle, bookish blue-black or a sparkling homage to a beloved novel, Wearingeul’s Literature inks turn the page into a scene—and your fountain pen into the narrator.
