Excellent for Beginner Modern Calligraphy/Brush Lettering!
I’m a beginner to Modern Calligraphy and have been doing a lot of research on brush pens that are all around great pens, but especially easier for beginners to start off with and these are some I’ve seen recommended over and over. These Pentel Sign Pen Brush (Flexible Point) pens are GREAT pens! Give nice thin upstrokes and distinct thicker downstrokes, the colors are nice and bold and the ink flows well.
Another pen I’ve seen recommended frequently are the Tombow Fudenosuke Colors that just came out. I purchased them at the same time as these Pentels and did a little side-by-side comparison swatch today, so I’ll attach that in case you are also looking at the two kinds. If you are at all familiar with the Tombow Fudenosukes, they typically come in a pack of 2 black pens, 1 hard tip and 1 soft tip - these Pentels are similar to the soft tip Fudenosuke. So, soft, but still a “small” brush pen that is a bit easier for beginners to control. Hope my review is helpful to some!
