Pentel Fude Touch Sign Pen, Gray, Felt Pen Like Brush Stroke (SES15C-N)

Excellent pen. I do not use it for artistic purposes, just for journaling, but it is soft and light. I recommend it!

Este Lápiz/pluma japonés de gran calidad reúne todas las cualidades que se requieren y se exigen para este tipo de instrumentos. La letra caligráfica se realza aún más con la espectacular calidad de la tinta. Fácil de manejar. Lo recomiendo sin ambages.

This was one of 2 pens recommended by my beginning calligraphy instructor. Not sure why I went with this one, but since I had free shipping with Prime I ordered 2. They are easy to use and can give you a good thin line when needed, but I found that certain papers cause the ink to bleed/spread so that the thin line is thicker than intended. This was particularly true when I used templates that I printed at home using 24 wt paper (Advantage Premium White from Costco), and also when printed via Office Depot. It worked best at thin crisp lines on Caliber graph paper, as well as lined wide-ruled notebook paper. It seems the smoother the paper the crisper the line.

The fude tip/brush tip Pentel pens are my favorite. For some reason they allow me to write or print very quickly compared to other types of pens, and you can style the paper impressions in more than one way. They are great fun to use, and the results look great too.

I purchased this pen after I saw a blogger recommend it for calligraphy. I have been wanting to get into calligraphy for awhile (I love the way pretty words look on paper). I can't believe I spent over $5 on a single pen, but I love it and I am so happy that I did! This is my first official "fancy" pen for lettering, so I don't have much to compare it to, but I think it is a great purchase. It took me awhile to figure out how to apply different pressures for different letters and angles, but it is pretty easy to get the hang of with practice. After about 10 minutes of writing, the ink appeared to run out and I was devastated! I waited a few minutes and the ink was back again, looking better than before! I have not had any problems since. I have included a picture of a quote I lettered, just as a reference for how it writes. Of course, I have a long way to go, but I think the pen makes the world of difference! It is a thinner tipped pen, so it doesn't do the thicker letters easily, but it is great for the cursivey smaller styles of calligraphy. If you are looking for a great calligraphy pen, look no further! I'd recommend this one!

Would order again

An artsy friend of mine loves these pens for hand-lettering cards and notes. After trying it out, I do appreciate the way the tip of the pen flexes against the page when you're drawing out long flourishes; varying the angle and pressure also gives you wider or finer lines. The tip has some kind of hard core but the end of it is flexible like a brush (notice in the photo I have "bent" it by applying more pressure).Now as for using this pen for "regular writing," I would say no to that. If I try to quickly jot notes using it, it feels scratchy against the paper and the ink is unevenly light and dark---a normal Flair felt-tip with a completely rigid point would be preferable.

I have a collection of Tombows (fudenosuke), Sakura and Kuretake pens and markers for lettering and just recently purchased this pen after hearing great things about it.IT IS MY FAVORITE, EVER. Why am I just discovering it now?The tombow fude soft tip has been my go-to for lettering modern calligraphy, as I prefer a more flexible tip (and find that the hard tip is just too stiff). This pen's tip is softer but still very sturdy. It writes amazingly smooth and is so inky, unlike the Tombows which I find dry out quickly, can be scratchy on paper, and are difficult to get clear upstrokes with.The tip is also nice for non-calligraphy lettering. Again, smooth, nice and inky. It makes transitions from thick to thin strokes seamless and somehow makes my handwriting look so much better.Caution: the ink doesn't dry immediately. The photo I've attached shows my fist's smudging of the lettering.I highly recommend this pen--it is a dream to write with!
