From broad marks to thin lines, this unique pen has endless possibilities.

Broad or skinny

This unique pen features two parallel metal plates for a nib, which distribute ink more evenly than conventional calligraphy nibs. This allows you to create broad, flat lines with a little pressure, or elegant varied lines with the corner of the nib. Did we mention it’s fun? All of these options have endless possibilities for creating expressive and calligraphic marks. 

Get creative with ink & water

The included ink is water-soluble, which makes for fun sketching with a water brush or adding flourishes to watercolor after your paint has dried. We offer ink refills in black or multi-color, or if you have your own waterproof ink, you can refill the included cartridges with a syringe, or use the optional converter.

What’s included

Each Parallel Pen comes includes a pen cap, black and red ink cartridges, a cleaning pipette, a nib cleaner card, and a manual.

We also have refill cartridges available in black or multi-color, and the Pilot CON-40 converter to enable usage of other inks.
