One of the first inks I purchased is Rohrer & Klingner’s Alt-Goldgrün, because I saw someone use it on a LAMY Safari review. It came as a balikbayan box stuffer, so I only got to try it last week.

Alt-Goldgrün as its name implies, is a very pretty gold green, with what I’d like to think of as an unusual depth and dimension to it. There is ample shading, but obviously, it tends to be on the lighter side when I write more rapidly. It has decent dry time (2-3 seconds on Miquelrius paper), and the color just looks gorgeous when it does.

It comes in a 50ml bottle, the size of which surprised me, when I finally got to hold it in my hands. I primarily shop for inks online (since I don’t even know where to start looking for colors here in Manila), and the Rohrer & Klingner bottles look like they are the size of dinky aromatherapy oils. Obviously, I didn’t really think about getting a 50ml bottle for comparison, but that’s my brain for you. The bottle is sturdy glass and it comes with a nice-looking cap made of thin metal. Also, I adore the label.

I am in love with this color, and I’m torn between wanting to write with it everyday and saving it for special occasions. In any case, I’m glad I bought it. I would definitely buy a bottle again, if I run out, and if, on such occasion, I still had money to spend on good ink and paper.

Rohrer & Klingner Alt-Goldgrün was purchased at Jetpens.com for $12, which I have now realized is a bit on the expensive side.
