Brush
calligraphy offers unlimited potential for creating an array of
hand-lettered treasures. A lettering brush has a round ferrule like the
liner, but the end of the hair is shaped flat instead of pointed. With
the help of lettering brushes, artist produce beautiful invitations,
greeting cards and certificates, distinctive stationery, unique posters
and brochures, innovative logotypes, professional-quality headlines,
elegant fabric designs, and much more. It is very similar to a
one-stroke brush.
Lettering brush is usually made of squirrel, goat, ox, pony or a
blend of several hairs, depending on the desired softness and intended
cost of the brush. These brushes are used primarily for lettering, but
many are also used for special watercolor effects. Just like pens,
lettering brushes take a nice shape and are perfect for inking.
