Pilot Parallel Pen Test for Illustration and Broad Edge Calligraphy on Stationery Test Drive

We test out the Pilot Parallel Pen, a unique calligraphy fountain pen designed for broad nib or broad edge lettering. One of us considers this her favourite pen and the other two have tried it for a few days. Makes for an interesting mix of impressions.

Stationery Test Drive is a free flowing weekly show where we test pieces of stationery we love or find fascinating. We come at each one from our different angles and backgrounds in art, and we aim to try them out and figure what makes them work, or not work, for each of us. Mostly we chat and we scribble.
