Modern Calligraphy Inks

Modern Calligraphy Inks

Modern calligraphy is usually written with a fine, flexible nib, so an ink needs to flow cleanly without pooling or feathering. Anything too thick will drag; anything too thin will lose the contrast between thicks and thins.

These are the inks that suit the job, including Higgins Eternal, Walker's, sumi and our own Rousy Panther Black.
