Capture the art and charm of beautiful handwriting with a very cherished and unique form of expression, calligraphy. A major breakthrough in calligraphy pen design, Pilot’s Parallel Pens feature a nib that consists of two parallel plates allowing the experienced or novice writer to produce crisp, smooth flowing lines. If it’s too difficult to choose just one ink color, gently blend the ink of two Parallel Pen nibs together to create mixable inks with remarkable color effects. Load two pens, each with a different but compatible color of cartridge. Hold one pen vertically and touch the second pen to the first pen for a few seconds. Begin to write with the first pen and delight in the blending of the two colors. Each set comes with a Parallel Pen, one black and one red ink cartridge, a converter to properly flush the pen, nib cleaner and use & care guide.

Pilot’s Parallel Calligraphy Pens come with a special nib made of two parallel flat metal plates as opposed to the traditional nib with two tines. With these parallel pens, you can practice many different lettering styles. Included in each pack is an instruction sheet that teachesthe fundamental stroke orders for Italic, Roman and Gothic lettering as well as other general lettering techniques. In the instructional guide, you will also find pointers on how to hold the pen, how to adjust angles to achieve different line widths and even some pictures that give ideas on how else you can use the pen to decorate cards, invitations, labels and more. For even more fun, if you have two parallel pens with different colored ink cartridges inserted, you can touch the two nib plates together to mix the colors, creating a beautiful gradation effect in your lettering.
