I love doing calligraphy and lettering and this pen is perfect! The set comes with all 4 sizes and is much cheaper than buying individually. Each set comes with the pen, 2 inks, a tool to easily clean out residual ink, a thin plastic like tool used to clear out fibers should the accumulate between the metal nibs and a nice little pamphlet that gives instructions and 2 font types to practice.
The nibs are flat and flexible, perfect for Old English style of calligraphy as well as others. You can use the wide flat nib for broad strokes or usr just the side for a thin stroke.
They use a specific ink cartridge and have a set of 12 different colors available. While they state ink is not refillable it actually can be done very easily with a blunt needle and fountain pen ink. For those interested there is a video on Youtube that shows you how. You can also easily hack the nib using a dremmel style tool, again, several videos demonstrate how.
The pen itself is made out of all plastic with the exception of the nib which is metal. The set comes with one each of red and black ink. If you decide to buy refills they are fairly reasonable and come in sets of 12. I suggest getting at least 1 set so you can refill wirh colors if your own.
I am over the moon with these pens and even ordered 2 additional sets to do ombre style lettering. I just wish I had known sooner about these as they are perfect for lettering of course and even drawing. Definately get the full set, its so much cheaper and you will want all 4 sizes.
I must say it is mesmerizing to write simple letter and embellish them via line variations or creating neat doodles or embellishments to add to notes, letters, or any other documentations. I actually have gotten emails of compliments because I send off an otherwise boringly typed document but adding an easy doodle under my signature line to make the document a bit more personable. It's pretty impressive how folks respond (even the youngens) if they receive stuff old school. Considering the fun I have gotten out of this already, this is a relatively cheap investment (ink is extremely cheap if you decide on dipping, while the ink cartridges can run about $3.50 for a dozen). It certainly adds to the wow factor by embellishing gift packaging for birthday or Christmas gifts. And, the good thing is that even the manliest of man can do it, unless you ain't got the balls :)
