Caran d’Ache Grafcube.

Caran d’Ache’s Grafcube is a formidable chunk of graphite. You can letter with it, draw with it, or conceal it in your fist for added punching power.

The Grafcube lets you rediscover calligraphy with your body. Wielding it feels like dancing.

Then I decided to ink all over it, using Noodler’s X Feather with a bamboo pen. More dancing.

Get a Grafcube and sheets of A3 paper, and just let loose. It’s a happy thing.
