Day 10: Favorite Calligraphy/Blunt-tip Pen

I’m so bad at picking favorites!

For straight up calligraphy, the Lamy Vista is the most useful.

The Sailor 1911 with the music nib* has a super smooth feel, and while it’s not as crisp as a regular italic nib, does a more than adequate job standing in for a super broad cursive italic.

For everyday use, the M320 is my favorite. I get line variance no matter what I do, and it’s not so wide that I have to write bigger.

*My pen collecting habits seem to center around interesting nibs and filling mechanisms. And demonstrators. Clear pens are just cool. :)
