What we liked

  • + Square 2 mm and 3.5 mm tips on each pen give two letter sizes for broad-edge practice
  • + 12 water-based colors that can be mixed, or blurred with a water brush for gradations
  • + Pitched in the listing as a way to practice calligraphy without the hassle of a dip pen

Trade-offs

  • - Markers only: no workbook, tracing paper or stencils are included in the set
  • - Square tips suit broad-edge styles and do not flex like a brush pen for modern script
