- • Nib Versatility: Fibre calligraphy nibs produce both fine and broad strokes for varied lettering
- • Best for: Beginners, bullet-journalers and crafters who decorate cards, wood or canvas
- • Not ideal for: Smooth, non-porous surfaces where ink adhesion can be inconsistent
Three black fibre brush pens with nib widths that cover fine to bold strokes. Water-based ink dries quickly, becomes waterproof once dry and has a neutral odour.
Consistent strokes and varied line widths – with special calligraphy nibs (2–5 mm)
Special fibre nibs are shaped to create fine upstrokes and broader downstrokes; the set includes multiple nib widths to cover a range of lettering styles. Angle and pressure control change line width without swapping tools.
Controlled thin hairlines and bold downstrokes make lettering, flourishing and headings easier to execute and more consistent.
Fast, smudge-resistant results – thanks to quick-drying water-based ink
Water-based ink dries rapidly and is described as waterproof once fully dry, while remaining low in odour. Quick drying prevents wet smears when layering or handling work soon after writing.
Faster layering for mixed-media craft, plus reduced smudging when sending cards or storing journals.
Craft-friendly coverage – with fibre tips suited to porous surfaces
Fibre tips pair well with porous materials such as terracotta, wood, paper, card and canvas, ensuring even ink transfer across textured surfaces. The pens are suitable for both paper-based projects and decorative craft uses.
Reliable ink flow on card, canvas and wooden surfaces makes these pens handy for small craft projects and personalised gifts.
