  2. Typical styles:
    Perfect for styles like Gothic (Textura, Fraktur) , Uncial , or even monumental Roman , in large format.

  3. Powerful visual effects:
    Thanks to its width, it produces a clear contrast between thin and thick lines, ideal for an impactful visual effect.

  4. Artistic use:
    Widely used for artistic signs , framed quotes , or in creative lettering work .

  5. Suitable ink:
    It is often used with thicker inks or diluted gouache, and sometimes requires a built-in reservoir to avoid refilling too often.
