Ink Types and Their Role in Lettering Projects
In calligraphy, ink is more than just a medium—it defines the tone, finish, and personality of the final work. Pigment-based inks offer rich colour and long-lasting durability, making them ideal for archival-quality pieces or professional commissions. Dye-based inks often provide brighter hues and more fluid movement, perfect for expressive work or layered designs. Waterproof inks ensure smudge-free results, especially when working with multiple layers or mixed media. Calligraphers may also explore shimmering, metallic, or tinted inks to add creative flair and dimension. Choosing the right ink also involves considering the type of pen and surface—some inks flow better through fountain pens, while others work best with dip nibs or brushes.

Different calligraphy styles require different tools, and aligning your supplies to your chosen script ensures better results and easier mastery. For traditional scripts like Gothic, Uncial, or Roman capitals, broad-edged nibs create the necessary contrast between thick and thin strokes. Copperplate and Spencerian styles benefit from pointed nibs that offer flex and allow for pressure-based variation. Brush pens work beautifully for modern, flowing scripts and artistic lettering projects. The ink you choose should complement your technique—pigment inks hold line clarity, while water-soluble inks offer softness and blendability. Paper with a smooth finish is essential to maintain pen flow and avoid snagging or feathering. Understanding how different tools interact with each style enables more confident and polished calligraphy.
