Clear- 0.3: 0.4: Particularly fine tips ideal for writing in limited space or adding details to designs. They can break easily.
- 0.5: 0.7: The most common tip size, ideal for all uses, from writing to drawing.
- 0.9: 3: They have better "flow" when writing as the tip does not sink into the paper. They can create a variety of tones in designs and calligraphic effects.
- 2: 3.2: The tip size resembles that of a classic pencil. It can be sharpened with a corresponding sharpener.
- 5.6: Particularly thick tips with which you can draw lines in different sizes, depending on the sharpening and angle of the pencil used. Ideal for drawing shadows.
- For writing, the values F, HB, B, 2B, 3B are recommended. The higher the values of B, the softer the pencil tip and the more intense the black color. The higher the values of H, the harder the tip and the lighter the black color.
- Technical / Linear Drawing: These are hard leads that do not smudge, retain their sharpness, and ensure fine, clean, and perfectly precise lines.
- Everyday Writing: It is the golden ratio of hardness and blackness, offering smooth flow on paper, easy erasing, and comfortable writing.
- Freehand / Artistic Drawing: They are very soft and dark leads, ideal for rich shading, bold outlines, and easy blending of tones.
