Calligraphy Fountain Pen with a 6.0mm Stub Italic Nib and Parallel Plate Design for Sharp Lettering
This calligraphy fountain pen pairs a broad 6.0mm stub italic nib with a parallel plate structure for sharp, expressive lettering. The Pilot Parallel gives you a distinctive nib design for exploring calligraphy strokes and letterforms.
One black and one red ink cartridge are included, along with a converter for flushing the pen and a nib cleaner. For bottled fountain pen ink, use a Pilot Con-40 converter, sold separately.
