Diamine Monboddos Hat Fountain Pen Ink

Discover the charm of Diamine Monboddo’s Hat, a sophisticated fountain pen ink inspired by the fascinating legacy of Lord Monboddo—a pioneering Scottish writer and early evolutionary theorist. This velvety medium purple ink features subtle reddish undertones, a low-key green-gold sheen, and minimal shading, making it an excellent choice for both creative projects and professional use. Born out of a collaboration with the Fountain Pens UK Facebook community, this distinctive ink adds a touch of history and elegance to your collection.

This jewel-tone purple strikes the perfect balance of pink and blue, offering a bright, modern lilac vibe while maintaining the timeless elegance of classic purple. It’s not too wild, yet still exciting—an ink that stands out without overshadowing. Positioned between Lamy Dark Lilac and De Atramentis Alexander Hamilton in terms of both colour and sheen, Monboddo’s Hat is set to become a favourite among enthusiasts. And like all Diamine inks, it exhibits exceptional behavior in pens and on paper.
