Member Bre… Posted April 19, 2012 Share Posted April 19, 2012 This topic was imported from the Typophile platform Originally I was going to give a nice little intro that leads into the forum topic about how the pen is mightier then God know what, but then I realized I am way to lazy to write that out... The question: What is your favourite pen/pencil/rock&chisel? Link to comment

Member Bre… Posted April 19, 2012 Author Share Posted April 19, 2012 Lately I have been a fan of the Lamy Pico, it is good for scribbling down details, plus it fits well in the pocket. Anyone fancy fountain pens? Link to comment

Member J.M… Posted April 19, 2012 Share Posted April 19, 2012 Stiff crow-quill pen, india ink on Bienfang Graphics 360 paper. Shot to film negative where the edges are clean up with a #16 xacto blade and my custom made sanded down french curve. This technique was taught to me by Ed. Benguiat. Link to comment
Member Chr… Posted April 19, 2012 Share Posted April 19, 2012 Oh, and I used to make my own calligraphy pens by hand-carving popsicle sticks. Link to comment

Member tma… Posted April 20, 2012 Share Posted April 20, 2012 You can't go wrong with a Staedler Mars Technico. And I've been trying to get my chops up with a sable Mack Brush (Red Sable Lettering and Showcard Brush). Link to comment
Member Bre… Posted April 20, 2012 Author Share Posted April 20, 2012 @Nick Cooke, I just bought that pen (except in black with silver rings and it is a ballpoint), absolute dream to write with. In general I enjoy Lamy's pens thoroughly. Probably the most beautiful of which is the Lamy 2000. It's the Scarlett Johansson of pens. Link to comment
