Review on U.S. Art Supply 35 Piece Calligraphy Pen Writing Set: Interchangeable Nibs, Paper Pad & Instructions for Beginners by Kristen Simpson

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Appearances are deceptive.

Maybe I overestimated my expectations. This set contains feathers of different sizes, from very wide to very thin. You, or at least I, can't tell them apart. They all write broadly and leave stains and puddles of ink. I have a dozen fountain pens and use them for everyday use. I thought I wanted to learn calligraphy. But after the shortest instruction manual I've ever seen and the poor customer service I received, I just decided to stick with my usual brand and forget about the calligraphy. It's at the bottom of my "maybe someday" drawer.

Pros
  • Lots of positive emotions
Cons
  • No performance
