Snowman Calligraphy Pen, Pigment Ink, Fade-Proof, 3 mm Nib

A calligraphy pen with a chisel nib lays a line that changes width as you change direction — thick on the downstroke, thin across — which is what gives written letterforms their shape.

Hold the nib at a constant angle to the line of writing and let the pen do the varying; the moment you start rotating your wrist the letters lose their consistency. Pigment ink keeps the finished piece stable under light and safe to mount or frame.

• Chisel nib — line width changes with stroke direction
• Hold the nib at a constant angle for consistent letters
• Pigment ink — stable under light once dry
