Surface Studio Calligraphy apps

Thanks for answering. I know there are many painting softwares in Windows. However, what I'm looking for is one specializing in calligraphy, which can imitate the Chinese writing brushes like the one you can see in Zen Brush 2. It would be teriffic for the big surface studio.

Hi Crystal,

I am excited to see your interest in the Microsoft Surface Studio. I wanted to go into a little more detail about a few features on the device that will benefit you. The surface pen included with this device has 1,024 different pressure sensors for drawing and writing. This has provided many users with the feeling that they are actually writing on a piece of paper. When resting your hand on the screen, you will experience a natural feel you find familiar with drawing and writing. This device is a fully functional, powerful machine with the added benefit of being a full-fledged studio drawing tablet. There is an optional pen tip kit that you can purchase online which provides different coverage and a more traditional pen or pencil feeling. This computer has a 4.5k resolution screen, and the definition is something you truly must see to believe.

There is an application that you can find directly on the Microsoft Store that I think you would find of interest. It is called “Plumbago, a Microsoft Garage Project” While I have not personally used this application, it has had great reviews, and I personally believe that it ties right in to what you are looking for. This application features a smooth and realistic ink and paper experience.

By the looks of the programs you list, all you need is a paint program and Windows comes with one "Paint" along with "Sketch" that is launched from the taskbar - both come with Windows and the later is activated on devices with a pen.

The Store app has several programs and a lot of them are free to include Fresh Paint.

Check those out.

Microsoft is developing a 3D variant of "Paint" called "Paint 3D" which is in preview right now for insiders and it replaces "Paint" when installed.

Along with the Studio, probably suggest to also get the tip kit for the pen to get different strokes.

Since you had mentioned that app, I downloaded it on my Pro 3 and it works great.  It does have a calligraphy point selection that does work.

I'm using Zen Brush 2 now on my Ipad pro and so far it's the best brush simulation to practice Vietnamese/Japanese calligraphy. I love it. I wish there'll be a program like that for Windows so one can use it on the bigger Surface Studio. Anyway, thanks for your advice.
