NEWS – If you’ve ever wanted to learn calligraphy, the Ensō Parallel Pen Set from Pilot can help you on your way. Pilot says these pens are a major breakthrough in calligraphic pen design: “The nib consists of two parallel plates and allows for sharp, monoline writing with the narrow edge, and expressive, calligraphic writing with the broad edge.” Ensō Parallel nibs also allow you to easily draw color-blended letters by simply touching the nib of a pen filled with one color to the nib of a pen filled with another color.
The Parallel Pen set consists of four pens with 1.5 mm, 2.4 mm, 3.8 mm, and 6.0 mm nibs; 18 refill ink cartridges (12 assorted colors and 6 black); a pipette; a nib cleaner; and an instruction book to get you started. Check out Pilot’s product page to see examples of hand lettering done by some of their customers.
The Ensō Parallel Pen Set is $47.08 at Pilot. The same kit is available at Amazon for only $28.49.
