Faber-Castell Goldfaber 2B Graphite Pencil

The Faber-Castell Goldfaber 1221 2B is a versatile, high-performance graphite pencil that delivers a softer, darker mark than HB, making it ideal for drawing, sketching, shading, and expressive writing. Its 2B grade is a good balance between softness and control, suited to both students and artists.

Constructed with Faber-Castell’s SV bonding process, the lead is fully bonded to the wood casing, which makes it highly resistant to breakage, even during sharpening or under pressure. The hexagonal barrel design ensures a firm, comfortable grip and prevents rolling off flat surfaces. The pencil’s aesthetics — a blue body accentuated with golden stripes — gives it a classic, premium look.

Overall, this pencil is suitable for everyday writing, quick sketches, artistic shading, and general creative use.
