Pentel Fude Touch Sign Pen - Brown Felt Tip Brush Marker (SES15C-E) | Calligraphy, Hand Lettering & Art Projects

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!
