Octopus Barock: Sepia
Octopus Fluids Barock Sepia fountain pen ink brings a timeless, antique-inspired warmth to your writing. This rich brown ink has subtle golden undertones that recall old manuscripts and vintage correspondence, while still offering modern performance: smooth flow, quick-starting lines, and reliable behavior on fountain pen friendly paper. Like all Octopus Fluids inks, Barock Sepia is water-soluble and safe for daily use in any fountain pen, easy to clean, and perfect for both everyday notes and creative writing projects.
If you love the look of old letters, journals, and classical calligraphy, Barock Sepia is an excellent choice. It’s professional enough for daily notes but brings just enough character to stand out. A favorite for writers who want their pages to feel warm, historic, and a little bit romantic.
About the Barock (Baroque) line of inks, in Octopus Fluids’ own words:
The Barock ink collection is a reissue of the traditional ink brand Barock, which for decades accompanied all writers in the former GDR ("East Germany") with its fountain pen inks. Barock inks were manufactured in Dresden, the capital of Saxony, until 2011. The insolvency of the company initially meant the end of the brand, but not the end of ink production at the Saxon location. Rather, it was the starting signal for the production of the first Octopus fountain pen inks, which reflected the expertise of some former Barock employees.
We are proud to be able to continue this legacy now under the brand name "Barock". The new Barock ink collections complement our classic writing ink range with expressive, well-saturated inks for fountain pens, glass pens and rollerballs. Barock inks are fountain pen inks of the highest quality, combining the tradition of the past with modern writing characteristics. With their excellent ink flow, instant writing and beautiful shading, they offer you a first-class writing experience.
Each Barock ink collection is dedicated to a decade of our century and consists of 6 perfectly matched colors that reflect the spirit of that decade.
Our Barock Ink Collection 1910 pays homage to the Art Nouveau era and skillfully captures the everyday life of people at that time in color: a deep gray Anthrazit recalls the smoke-filled factories and hard work of that time. The umber, jade, and Kaviar hues, on the other hand, tell of the efforts of artists of the era to mimic nature in their works.
Immerse your writing in the splendor of this impressive era and let your words shine in our vibrant colors!
