[Yazeh]

Thanks @junglejim for providing such a delightful ink (mystery ink 36)

Just check the chroma:

Squeteague is a first nation name for Weakfish, native to the North Eastern Coast of North Amercia. The colour of this ink is inspired by the teals colour of the spots found on its head and back.

This is a delightful ink for those who enjoy dark teals with shading and who don’t care for long dry times. Ink has decent water resistance....

Here you can the contrast with Akkerman SBRE Brown...

As you can see, I was not enamoured with the long drying times at first....the text is written alternatively with Ahab/Lamy Safari broad back and front....

But after a while, I enjoyed it quite a bit despite its shortcomings....
