Calligraphy and hand lettering have never been more popular, and the tools have never been better. DeSerres carries dip pens, brush pens, calligraphy markers and felt tips for every style: traditional copperplate, modern brush lettering, gothic scripts and everything in between. For beginners discovering the craft and experienced letterers refining their practice.
Which calligraphy tool should I start with?
It depends on the style you want to learn. For traditional pointed pen calligraphy (copperplate, Spencerian), start with a dip pen holder, a flexible nib and ink. For modern brush lettering, a brush pen with a flexible tip is the most accessible entry point. For beginners who want to practice letterforms without the learning curve of a dip pen, a calligraphy marker with a chisel or brush tip is the easiest way to start.
