The Wordsworth & Black "Black Gold" set is designed with a focus on both aesthetics and a balanced writing experience. Unlike many all-plastic beginner pens, this model features a barrel made from a brass alloy, giving it a weightier, more professional feel in the hand. The nib is made from gilded stainless steel, which provides a stiff and stable surface that is easy for beginners to control during daily journaling or calligraphy practice.
The set is highly versatile, including a bottle of ink, six cartridges, and four additional replacement nibs. This allows you to choose between the convenience of cartridges or the variety of bottled inks using the included converter. To keep the pen in top condition, it is a good idea to rinse the nib with water if you don't plan on using it for more than a week, as this helps prevent the ink from drying inside the feed channels.
The brass-core construction provides a comfortable balance that can help reduce hand fatigue during extended periods of writing.
If you like the metallic look but prefer a lighter pen, the Ooly Modern Script Set uses metallized plastic for a similar style with less weight.
