  • Pentel Pocket Brush Pen with two ink refills (I’ll be replacing them with fountain pen refillable converters).
  • The Elements of Typographic Style by Robert Bringhurst. Used, a bit roughed up, but cheap.  I’ll be wearing this edition out as well…

    • I just tried the pen out and it draws like buttah. A little more cheaply made than my Kuratake brush pen, but the line quality is great and it costs a quarter of what the Kuratake costs.  Best of all, I can carry it around with me and not worry about losing an expensive tool.

It uses ink cartidges, of unknown quality and longevity, so I bought a converter that allows me to load my own ink; in this case, bottled sumi ink. I’m thinking about getting my technical pens out of storage and having a go with them as well. And then there’s my Japanese Kuratake brush pen…
