Calligraphy Pens
Practised across the world for centuries, calligraphy is the artistic interpretation of handwriting. This sophisticated writing style adds a delightful flair to liven up any piece of writing.
We stock a wide range of calligraphy pens, including brush calligraphy pens, parallel pens and dip pens.
Find your calligraphy style
When writing calligraphy, you need to ask yourself which types of calligraphy you would like to write. Nowadays, calligraphy mainly includes 3 parts.
Traditional Western Calligraphy: Using dip pens and bottle inks, the flexibility of the dip pen's nib creates beautiful strikes and lines.
Traditional Eastern Calligraphy: Using bristle brush pens in black ink, the soft bristle creates endless possibilities of variations, at the same time, it requires strict control of the pressure applied on the bristle tip.
Modern Calligraphy: Also known as hand lettering, it doesn't require a specific type of pen you use. You can use brush pens, dip pens, parallel pens, fountain pens or even markers. Unlike traditional calligraphy, it doesn't have strict rules and requires your creativity, so you can do your experiments.
Choose your calligraphy pens
After knowing which type of calligraphy you will write, it is time to choose the right calligraphy pen.
If you need to practise your calligraphy for hand lettering, you can start with the most beginner-friendly calligraphy pen, the Tombow Fudenosuke Brush Pen with hard tip. Its flexible yet firm tip is very easy to control.
The most suitable brush pen for Chinese calligraphy or Japanese calligraphy is the series of Pentel Fude Brush Pens. It includes a pigment ink version and a quick-drying ink version. Suitable for different calligraphy needs.
For flat-pen calligraphy, the best pen on the market is the Pilot Parallel calligraphy pens. With two parallel plates and 6 different nib widths, they can create beautiful italic calligraphy.
