Adil Jacobs is a pen maker and founder of Kapaadie Co. Calligraphy Pens. Writing has always been a vital form of his expression with early development taking root in graffiti and with later refinement through the learning of calligraphy. For him, writing and its style is an ever evolving process. Core to his practice are the words of his teacher, ‘before learning how to write, you first have to learn how to cut a pen.’
