Purple with personality
Cassia is one of the most cheerful purples in the fountain pen world. It is bright enough to stand out yet deep enough for comfortable reading, a lovely choice for journals, letters and creative projects.
How it writes
With rich saturation and wet flow, Cassia lays down a bold line in any nib. On smooth paper and with wetter pens, some writers notice a subtle sheen at the edges of strokes.
Great for
- Journaling and personal letters

- Demonstrator pens that show off the ink
