A bullet journal is one of the most flexible and creative planning systems.  You can truly make it whatever you want it to be.  If you’re setting up your bullet journal for the first time, don’t miss this Bullet Journal Setup Guide.

Although the original Bullet Journal system may have been minimal and practical — many bullet journalists have used their creativity and imagination to turn their bullet journal spreads into gorgeous works of art!

If you are like me, your bullet journal is part planner, part sketchbook.  And one way I love to express my creativity in my bullet journal is through handwriting, lettering, and calligraphy.

Best Bullet Journal Pens for Hand Lettering

Before we get to the fonts, a quick note about supplies:  A lot of these fonts rely on a certain type of pen to get their signature look.  Here are some of the pens recommended for hand lettering in your bullet journal.

Dual Tip Brush Pens

These pens from Tombow are ideal for fine art, brush lettering, faux calligraphy, illustrations, bullet journaling and more!  I like them because you can get gorgeous thick-and-thin brush strokes by changing your pressure on the brush tip.


Fudenosuke Brush Pens

These pens (also from Tombow) have a flexible brush tip for lettering and drawing.  I like them because the fudenosuke brush pens have a smaller and stiffer brush tip than the brush on the Dual Pen — so they are perfect for smaller headlines and titles.

Fine Line Micron Pens

These are some of my all-time favorite pens.  They don’t smear on most paper (awesome for lefties!) They are archival quality, and they last a really long time before they run out of ink.

If you want a fine, consistent width line, get these pens.
