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.
