Enjoy a night on the town with Visconti Cafe Terrace at Night!
Visconti Cafe Terrace at Night is a rich golden-yellow, resembling warm candlelight. It is a match for the Visconti Van Gogh pen of the same name and based on Van Gogh’s famous painting. This review was done with a Pilot Metropolitan F, Lamy Safari B, and on Rhodia blank No. 18 paper.
This ink has just enough shading to create interest in any work an artist might be inspired to make. In a fine nib it comes closer to a sunny yellow while leaning deeper and more golden in a broad nib.
Visconti Cafe Terrace at Night is a wonderful ink to work with. It has good flow, low feathering and bleedthrough, no water resistance, and an average dry time of 15 to 20 seconds.
This is definitely not a shy ink. While many yellows skew too light to be readable, this is a wonderfully deep color that is perfect for everyday use for the adventurous writer!
As with any ink review, the pen, paper, and person doing the writing will influence the way the ink looks. If you’re not sure about a color, try a sample to see if it’s the one for you.
Ink it Up!
