About Manuscript

We’re proud to develop and own three standout brands:

Manuscript

Our calligraphy brand with a legacy spanning five generations. Renowned worldwide for exceptional quality dip nibs, fountain pens and calligraphy supplies.

Tom Hessin

A new name in fine writing, with deep roots. Built on generations of craftsmanship and British heritage, Tom Hessin embodies Modern Heritage – where timeless tradition meets contemporary design. Elegant, expressive, and made for today’s lifestyle.

The Lionheart Tales

A vibrant children’s brand created to inspire creativity, learning and early writing skills. Through books, animated stories, Air Pens, and specially designed activity resources – like our Early Years Activity Pack – we support every step of a child’s writing journey. Products such as our 3-in-1 crayons help children develop the pincer grip in preparation for writing with thinner pens. It’s playful, purposeful, and perfect for curious little minds.
