There’s something satisfying about seeing your handwriting on a piece of paper that typing on a computer just can’t compare to. However, we’re all quite used to tapping away on keyboards, and opportunities to write don’t come by very often.
At some point, both casual and prolific writers may want to improve their handwriting. And the pen you use for this will play quite a significant role. The pen’s design and mechanics contribute to how good your handwriting can be.
Whether you want to take the traditional route of writing in a journal or scribbling out a to-do list, we’ll share some pens that can help you develop better handwriting along the way.
LAMY Safari
Even if you've never used a fountain pen before, the LAMY safari is a friendly option that feels natural in your palm because of its triangular grip. The Safari is a standout model that prioritizes ergonomics for a better writing experience. It strikes a balance between price, durable design, and a sleek form that teaches you how to hold a pen properly for the best handwriting results.
There are several options available, including the Safari ballpoint, rollerball, and even mechanical pencil varieties, all of which feature the same timeless style.
If you like calligraphy you can also check out the LAMY Joy, which gives flair to your writing line widths for a more calligraphic and artistic look.
Montblanc Meisterstück Rollerball Pen
If you’re looking for an investment in a pen that can improve your handwriting, then look no further than Montblanc. This brand is known for its luxury pens that are beautifully and meticulously designed. You can be assured of quality when buying a pen from Montblanc.
The Meisterstück Classique Rollerball pen is one of the most premium writing instruments available on the market. It's one of the greatest rollerballs for handwriting because it's so comfortable to hold. It is also incredibly dependable and, with regular maintenance, can last a lifetime.
Kaweco Classic Sport
Another popular pen developed in Germany, Kaweco's Classic Sport is far more travel-friendly than the Safari or the Meisterstück, making it a fantastic choice to take with you wherever you go. The Classic Sport transforms into a full-sized pen when it's ready to write despite its tiny size (the fountain and rollerball pens measure just over 10cm with the cap on). It fits snugly into your hand with a comfortable grip that gives you the control you need to perfect your handwriting.
Traveler’s Company Brass Fountain Pen
The Traveler's Co. Brass Fountain Pen is one of the best pocket pens ever made. It is incredibly ergonomic, has a stunningly simple design, and has an accurate fine nib that produces crisp, sharp writing.
This fountain pen is a joy to take with you. Whether you’re scribbling notes in a cafe or settling down to write letters, you’ll appreciate the experience of using it thanks to its small size and durable brass body. Additionally, the Brass finish, which ages with usage, will develop a patina that is as unique as your own fingerprint.
The Bottom Line
Knowing how to write with a fountain pen or any other kind of pen for better handwriting will depend on several things. First, how much you write and practice will determine how good your handwriting will become. But equally important, as we’ve discussed in this article, is the tool that you use to write with. The right pen should feel comfortable in the hand and allow you to improve your handwriting with time.
Happy writing!
