# OPUS 88 OMAR Fountain Pen - Pumpkin

### For long ink-heavy writing sessions

The Opus 88 Omar Pumpkin is a bold, warm-toned fountain pen designed around high ink capacity, comfort, and visual impact. Made from an opaque matte acrylic resin in a deep orange “pumpkin” hue, it adds a seasonal, expressive character to your writing experience. Uses an eyedropper filling system with a shut-off valve for controlled flow and travel.

### What sets it apart

-   High capacity eyedropper filling system for long writing sessions
-   Shut-off valve helps prevent leaks during transport
-   Warm pumpkin acrylic with strong visual presence
-   Oversized body designed for comfort and extended use
-   Smooth steel nib with reliable ink flow and consistent performance.

### Feel in the hand

The Omar Pumpkin feels energetic and expressive without being loud. The warm orange acrylic creates a sense of warmth and creativity, especially when filled with saturated inks. It turns writing into something more visual and engaging.

### Who it’s for

-   Writers who enjoy pens with strong colour identity
-   Ink enthusiasts who like writing in non-black inks
-   Users who prefer larger, more comfortable fountain pens
-   People who enjoy seasonal or expressive design aesthetics
-   Those who want a high capacity pen for long writing sessions

### Not for

-   Users who prefer small or pocket-friendly pens
-   Those who want cartridge or converter simplicity
-   Minimalist users who prefer understated or neutral designs
-   Writers who need quick, one handed usability without managing a shut-off valve

### Practical tips

-   Open the shut-off valve slightly during writing to ensure consistent ink flow
-   Close the valve when travelling to prevent leakage
-   Fill slowly to minimise air bubbles in the barrel
