# OPUS 88 OMAR Fountain Pen - Milktea

## A warm caramel-toned demonstrator

The Opus 88 Omar Milktea is a full sized eyedropper fountain pen finished in a soft milky caramel resin with warmth and depth. It uses an opaque acrylic, with a matte finish, softening the clinical feel of the barrel and creating a more tactile writing experience. Built with Opus 88’s high capacity reservoir system and shut-off valve, it is designed for long writing or sketching sessions.

### What sets it apart

-   High capacity eyedropper filling system for long writing
-   Shut-off valve prevents leaks and gives control over ink flow
-   Warm milktea resin with matte finish for better grip
-   Large, comfortable body designed for extended writing sessions
-   Size #6 Jowo nib unit for easy nib swaps

### Feel in the hand

The Milktea feels calm, grounded, and quietly indulgent. The warm caramel tone softens the technical nature of a fountain pen, making it feel more personal and less clinical. 

### Who it’s for

-   Writers who enjoy warm, earthy colour palettes
-   Ink users who want high-capacity pens for long writing sessions
-   Journaling and planning users who write for extended periods
-   Users with arthritis will enjoy the girth and matte surface
-   Nib explorers who like switch out different nib sizes

### Not for

-   Users who prefer compact or pocket-sized pens
-   Those who want cartridge or converter simplicity
-   Writers looking for bright, high contrast colours
-   Anyone who prefers heavy metal pens

### Practical tips

-   Keep the shut-off valve slightly open during writing
-   Close the valve before carrying to prevent leakage  
    
-   Clean thoroughly after using saturated inks
