Calligraphy Pens

Learn about pens for hand lettering, writing, drawing, journaling and more.

Brush Tip

A brush tip pen is a marker or pen with a flexible, tapered tip that mimics a paintbrush. By changing the pressure on the paper, you can create variable line widths – producing thin upward strokes and thick downward strokes with a single tool. This pen is perfect for beginners!

Dip Pen

A dip pen is a type of calligraphy pen that has no internal ink storage. This more traditional tool is used by dipping the tip into ink as you write. It allows you the flexibility to use multiple colors with one pen. This pen is ideal for artists and calligraphers!

Fountain Pen

A fountain pen is a refillable calligraphy pen that holds liquid ink inside a built-in reservoir. It feeds the ink through a metal nib to write smoothly on paper without needing to dip the pen into an inkwell. This pen is great for journaling, sketching and letter writing!

Art of Writing FAQ

How does a calligraphy pen work?

Whether you're using a dip pen, brush pen or fountain pen, calligraphy is a style of writing where you adjust the ink flow and pressure to create beautiful hand-lettering.

Are fountain pens hard to use?

No, fountain pens are easy to write with, once you get used to the difference from a standard ballpoint pen.

Fountain pens vs. ballpoints: what's the difference?

Standard ballpoint pens use a tiny ball to transfer oil-based ink onto the paper as you write, while fountain pens use water-based ink that flows through a metal nib with the help of gravity to create anything from smooth, thin lines to flourishing strokes.
