Calligraphy Flourish Friday - Kuretake ZIG Pens

I recently received a new batch of ZIG pens from Kuretake. 

(Definitely, a good mail day!)

I was most interested to try the Cocoiro Letter Pen. 

This is the information for the Cocoiro Letter Pen as provided to me by Kuretake.

For a fiber tip pen, I was amazed at the thinness of line the Cocoiro could produce. Although it is a flexible, brush tip, it is a FIRM tip.   Anyone that struggles to control a brush pen, may enjoy using the Cocoiro.  I am able to write much smaller with the Cocoiro than with other flexible, fiber pens.

The ergonomic pen body gives a comfortable grip.

All the envelopes pictured are A2 (4 3/8" x 5 3/4").

The Cocoiro also writes quite nicely at a larger size. The page above is standard letter size, 8 1/2" x 11". 

I also had a chance to play with the ZIG Metallic Colours calligraphy pens, which I love. Kuretake has added a couple of new colors.  

In addition to the calligraphy tip, the metallics also come in a bullet tip. (ZIG Writer).

I've learned that Kuretake has introduced 4 new comic nibs, one of which is a G nib.   I look forward to trying them.
