JetPens.com proudly presents the Sailor DE Brush Stroke Style Calligraphy Fountain Pen - Bamboo Green - Nib Angle 55 Degrees. Fude DE Mannen is a fountain pen whose special nib allows the user to write calligraphy-quality letters easily, even for individuals unskilled in the use of calligraphy and brush products. In Japan, pens like these are growing in popularity compared to traditional brush pens due to their more ergonomic grip and easier stroke. The pen is available in a high angled Wakatake nib (nib angle 55) for fine lettering and a low angled Kon nib (nib angle 40) for more bold lettering. The line weight changes depending on the angle of the pen. By the way, the name Fude de Mannnen happens to be a play on words. In Japanese it sounds like Fude (brush pen) and Mannen (fountain pen), but can also sound like "this is a brush pen" if you use a regional accent. It is aptly named so because it blends the characteristics of a fountain pen and brush. Writing sample courtesy of JetPens customer Josh Scruggs of 26symbols.com.
