This is where I fell in love with the Faber Castell Artist Pitt Pen Family. I was a Super Fine Tip girly from 2008 until 2022, and then they introduced the FH tip, which stands for Fude Hard. It’s like a short, hard brush tip, and I love it. I use the SB (Soft Brush) for the outlines on my paintings and the Brush for fills and for type whenever I need to draw lettering that needs to be vectorized (it transitions to digital cleaner than the Super Fine).

I checked with Bookmark, and Dan didn’t have them in stock, but he pointed me to Blank Canvas, where I found plenty of Pitt pens, including the FH.

$3.80 later, and I’m the proud owner of one.
