Brush Calligraphy Tools and Supplies

Brush Pens

There are many different brush pens you can experiment with that vary in size and flexibility of the tip. Here are a few of my personal favorites! I would encourage you to try a variety of pens to see which ones you gravitate towards.

Small Tip Pens:

• Tombow Fudenosuke Hard Tip

• Tombow Fuendosuke Soft Tip

• Pentel Touch Sign Pen

Large Tip Pens:

• Tombow Dual Brush Pen

• Ohuhu Dual Brush Pen

Recommended Paper

Remember when choosing paper, avoid regular printer or copy paper, as its textured surface can quickly fray the tip of your brush pen. Instead, opt for ultra-smooth paper designed specifically for brush lettering to protect your pens and achieve the best results.
