Wearingeul - Path

Wearingeul - Path - Ink Drop

Today’s ink is from Wearingeul’s four-ink, Korean Female Modern Writer series. Called 도정 (or Path in English), it was inspired by sunlight between the leaves of trees. It’s dedicated to 지하련 (Ji, Ha-Ryeon), an important writer and literary theorist whose life was tragically upended by the war in Korea and the on-going national division.

Wearingeul - Path - Color Range

Path is a beautiful, verdant, dark olive green. It’s earthy, organic, and lush, and nicely saturated, as well. As the gold embossing on the bottle’s label indicates, this is a gold shimmer ink. An intense, deep gold shimmer mimics the optical effects of sunlight through the trees. There’s shading on many papers, with light areas showcasing brighter, yellow-greens that contrast the base color nicely. All of this makes Path a very attractive, very likable ink.

Path performs very well, too. It behaves nicely on the page, remaining crisp and clean at all times. The shimmer hasn’t caused any problems, nor have I had issues with crusting (dark olives can sometimes cause a bit of crusting in my experience). It’s a nice writing ink.

I’m super impressed with Wearingeul’s attention to detail. The bottle is solid and lovely, and reminds me of the Sailor Manyo bottles. The ink is packaged in a very elegant, double-layered box, and includes a swatch card with the RGB code of the ink. Everything screams of quality here. I love companies with an eye for detail and high standards, and I think you’ll enjoy Path.

Please note: Wearingeul sent this and several other inks over for me to try, but that hasn’t colored my judgement in any way. As always, my reviews reflect my honest opinions.
