Mochi Honey

Jack Frost leans more toward a medium-dark blue than a true deep blue, and its shimmer is delicate—think of it as the faint sparkle of frost on a windowpane. The colour is functional and classic, evoking the everyday beauty of winter rather than its dazzling displays.

Testing the Ink

Dominant Industry Ink Muddler (glass nib):
The glass nib gave the ink a lighter, more muted look—almost washed out, like Jack Frost tiptoed over the page instead of painting it with bold strokes.

Sailor Hocoro (medium nib):
The medium nib brought a bit more depth to the colour, making it richer and more uniform. Still, the shimmer remained subtle and didn’t quite steal the show.

Kakimori brass nib:
The Kakimori brought out the deepest tones of Jack Frost, creating a fuller-bodied blue with just a hint of its frosty shimmer glinting through.

Final Thoughts

Jack Frost is the understated winter blue in this collection—a dependable and subdued choice, though perhaps not the most memorable. Its subtle shimmer and steady hue make it ideal for understated holiday cards or everyday winter journaling. While it didn’t quite give me the frosty magic I was hoping for, it’s a solid ink that might charm those looking for a classic winter blue.
