A beginner's calligraphy set built around a 32-page bilingual instruction book and British-made Manuscript nibs, packed in a hardcover case that doubles as a carrying case. It covers the basics — pen angles, hand positions, letter heights and spacing — then moves to six alphabets plus numerals. The three nibs and seven ink colors give more range than most starter sets, which typically ship with a single pen. It suits someone starting from zero who wants guided practice rather than loose supplies.

Rated 4.3 out of 5 across 66 ratings, buyers generally treat it as a solid, giftable starter set. The book and the Manuscript nibs draw the most praise; some find the instruction thin and the pen setup fiddly at first.
This calligraphy kit includes a guidebook and the supplies needed to start hand lettering. The pens and pen nibs are made in Britain by Manuscript Pen Company. Each Manuscript nib is hand pressed.
The book covers calligraphy basics: pen styles, angles and hand positions, letter heights and spacing, and practice strokes. It then moves on to several calligraphic alphabets, including Sans Serif, Roman, Chancery Cursive, Uncial, Black Letter and Batarde, as well as numerals.
The hardcover packaging doubles as a carrying case. The kit can be used to add calligraphy to notes, cards, invitations, tags, wall art, signs and menus.
