"Calligraphy is a visual art related to writing. Its meaning is *the art of beautiful writing* from the Greek *Kalos* which means beauty but also captures the notion of an ethical virtue. Modern calligraphy ranges from functional inscriptions and designs to fine-art pieces where the letters may or may not be readable. The Meisterstück Solitaire Metal Calligraphy Collection features three writing instruments enhanced with a gold leaf pattern over a black lacquered body. The Solitaire collection offers the piston filled 146 size Fountain Pen either with a yellow 18kt gold exceptional flexible nib, or a ruthenium coated 18kt gold nib, available in Medium and Fine widths. A matching rollerball is also available. The trim and clip are black PVD-coated in the Solitaire collection. By using the flexible nib, your line width will vary depending on the amount of pressure exerted on the nib.
