Calligraphy, the ancient Greek word for “beautiful writing”, is the art of giving handwritten letters and text a graceful and appealing appearance. The skill has become increasingly popular today among makers and handwriting aficionados looking to put pen to paper in a creative and personalised way. Exquisitely formed ink letters require skill, patience and practice, but also the right tools.
Montblanc has been synonymous with the art of writing, developing writing instruments and applying new mechanisms to keep it at the forefront of writing technology. Hand-sculpted from solid gold by master artisans who oversee 35 skilled steps, each nib is the result of absolute expertise, intuition and boundless patience. With its new Meisterstück Calligraphy collection, Montblanc leans into its know-how to elevate the art of hand lettering with a new nib, the Flex Nib. Made from gold to bend and spread more easily, it allows for more elaborate and more expressive calligraphy, with vertical lines varying from just 0.3mm to 1.4mm thick depending on the pressure applied to the pen.
