⚡ At a Glance
  • Tip Control: Medium 1.8-2.5mm felt tip for fine lines and controlled strokes
  • Best for: Artists, crafters and families who need versatile multi-surface markers
  • Not ideal for: Users who require permanent marks on smooth non-porous surfaces such as glass

Water-based, odourless acrylic formula is non-toxic and washable. Push-in priming with a built-in ball maintains consistent paint flow.


Precise lines and detailed work, thanks to the Medium 1.8-2.5mm tip

The felt nib measures between 1.8 and 2.5mm, giving a narrow contact point for accurate strokes and fine lettering. Reversible tips maintain shape for longer use.

Fine-line drawing, adult colouring and lettering benefit from crisp edges and predictable line width.

Reliable, even paint flow, with push-in priming and internal ball mechanism

Push-in priming re-saturates the reversible tip and an internal ball blends pigment to prevent streaking. The mechanism keeps paint moving to the nib for smooth application.

Expect consistent coverage from the first mark, avoiding patchy starts on artwork and signage.

Family- and studio-friendly formula, with water-based, odourless acrylic paint

The formula uses water-based acrylic pigments that are described as odourless and non-toxic, suitable for general craft use. Colours are UV-protected for improved lightfastness.

Safe for classroom and home projects while still delivering vivid, long-lasting colour.
