The GC QUILL MU-09 set is designed to offer a broad range of calligraphy experiences in a single package. It features seven different nib widths, ranging from 0.5mm for fine lines to a broad 2.9mm for dramatic lettering. The pen bodies are made from high-gloss ABS plastic, which is impact-resistant and holds up well in a household environment, though it can show small surface scratches over time with heavy use.
This set is particularly helpful for beginners because it includes 40 ink cartridges, ensuring you won't need to shop for refills immediately. The stainless steel nibs are quite rigid, which helps new users maintain a consistent line as they learn the correct angles for different scripts. While the pens are compatible with standard international cartridges, a simple rinse of the nib with water before the first use can help ensure a smooth start by removing any residues from the manufacturing process.
With seven different nib sizes, this kit is a practical and cost-effective way to experiment with various calligraphy styles like Gothic or Italic.
If you prefer to focus on brush-style lettering rather than metal nibs, the CreateSpace Beginner's Guide is an excellent companion for that style.
