Calligraphy pens: 101
This stylish tool is an essential part of any artist’s toolbox. Used for many artistic projects, the pen creates truly elegant lettering. The calligraphy pen is a close relative to the fountain pen. The key difference is that calligraphy pens have a broader, flat-edged nib. With this nib, you can create stunning lettering of varying thickness. Depending on the effect you want to create, nibs are available in small, medium and large sizes.
However, if you’re new to calligraphy, brush pens are a fantastic way to ease into hand lettering. With a nib and feel close to a marker, the brush pen creates thick, broad strokes.
One pen, so many choices
While it may look similar to the naked eye, there are many different types of calligraphy pen. Each one is specifically designed to achieve a particular style of lettering and for varying skill levels.
