Tombow 62039 Fudenosuke Brush Pens, 3-Pack, Soft, Hard & Twin Tips

For practicing calligraphy, adding expressive lettering to a journal, or drawing fine details, the Tombow 62039 Fudenosuke Brush Pens set offers three tip styles in black. It includes soft-tip, hard-tip, and twin-tip pens, each with flexible brush-tip action for creating extra-fine, fine, or medium strokes by adjusting pressure. The ink is water-based, pigmented, and odorless.

Having three tip styles in one pack lets you compare how each handles lettering and drawing without switching to a different pen family.

Key points

The main difference between the pens is the tip: soft, hard, and twin. That variety gives you options for pressure-sensitive strokes, from delicate lines to broader marks, while keeping the ink color consistent. They are designed for calligraphy and art drawings, and can also suit lettering and sketch details where line variation matters. A conventional fixed-width pen may be a better fit when you want the same line thickness throughout, these brush pens are intended for more expressive marks.

Buyer feedback is generally positive about using the pens for calligraphy, bullet journaling, and beginner practice, with some customers mentioning smooth writing and easy handling. Opinions on ink darkness are mixed: some describe the black as dark, while others find it lighter than expected. Some buyers also report that the pens dry out quickly, so that feedback is worth weighing if you expect frequent or extended use.

Usage tips

Varying brush pressure is the stated way to change the stroke width, so these pens can be used to practice controlled transitions between finer and broader lines. Try the soft, hard, and twin-tip options on the kind of lettering or drawing you plan to make, the pack provides different tip styles, but the product details do not specify exactly how the twin tip is configured. What matters more for your projects: a consistent line, or the ability to change its weight with pressure?

The pens use water-based black ink and are non-refillable. No special maintenance or storage instructions are provided, so avoid assuming they can be refreshed or refilled when the ink runs out.

Best use cases

These pens are suited to calligraphy practice, stylized lettering, Japanese characters such as Kanji, and art drawings that benefit from varied line weight. They may also work for bullet journaling when you want brush-style headings or details rather than uniform writing. Worth considering if you want to explore different tip feels in one black-ink set, especially as a beginner. For routine notes that call for an even, predictable stroke, a standard fixed-tip writing pen is a simpler approach.

Buying verdict

Choose the Tombow 62039 set if your priority is exploring pressure-based lettering and drawing with three brush-tip styles, rather than writing with a uniform line. Its black water-based ink and calligraphy focus make it relevant for practice, journal lettering, and detail work. Better avoided if refillable pens are a must, since these are non-refillable, also keep the mixed buyer feedback about ink darkness and reports of pens drying out in mind when deciding whether the set suits your intended frequency of use.
