Permanent brush-tip markers Astra set of 12 — assorted colors, brush nib for lettering and illustration

A set of 12 Astra permanent brush-tip markers in assorted colors designed for lettering, illustration and permanent marking. Each marker features a flexible brush nib that allows controlled variable line widths — from thin hairlines to broad strokes — making the set suitable for detailed work and expressive brush lettering. The ink is formulated for permanent marking on paper, cardboard and many other porous and semi-porous surfaces where durable pigment coverage is needed.

Advantages

The brush-style nib delivers smooth ink flow and responsive flex for natural stroke modulation, enabling both precision details and bold fills without changing tools. Quick-drying pigment ink reduces smudging on typical craft papers and provides good coverage across light and mid-tone backgrounds. The compact set of 12 assorted colors offers a practical palette for calligraphy, hand-lettered projects, sketching and mixed-media work.

How to use

Shake each marker gently before use if recommended by the manufacturer and test the color on scrap paper to familiarise yourself with its flow and opacity. Apply light pressure for thin lines and increase pressure or angle for broader strokes; the brush nib responds to hand movement and pressure to produce varied line widths. Allow ink to dry fully before layering additional colors or applying varnish or fixative.

Usage recommendations

Store markers horizontally to maintain even ink distribution in the brush nib. Use suitable paper weights for best results — heavier paper reduces bleeding and warping when applying multiple layers. Avoid use on non-porous surfaces unless compatibility is tested; for archival results, consider sealing finished work with appropriate fixative compatible with permanent pigment ink.
