Calligraphy requires a special type of pen. The tip of all calligraphy pens, called the nib, has a flat edge rather than the round point found on everyday ballpoint pens. Calligraphers can vary the weight, or thickness, of the lines they use to form letters by controlling how much of the nib’s flat edge they allow to contact the paper. The width of the nib’s flat front edge, known as the nib width, is equal to the width of the thickest line that can be drawn with that pen

The Calligraphy Pen Store provides you with a wide choice of calligraphy equipment including calligraphy pens, fountain pens, calligraphy pen holders, nibs, paper, ink and art pens.
