Description

Since 1905, the CASTELL 9000 has been the pencil that artists, illustrators, and designers reach for first. Count Alexander von Faber-Castell launched it as a benchmark for quality, and it has held that place for over a century.

Its smooth, finely graduated graphite lays down clean, consistent lines, from delicate technical strokes to deep, rich shading. The lead is fully bonded to the wood with Faber-Castell’s SV bonding, so it resists breaking when sharpened, dropped, or pressed hard. The pencil is finished in an environmentally safe water-based coating.

Softer B grades give dark, expressive lines for shading and sketching. Harder H grades give crisp, light lines for drafting and precision work. HB sits in the middle for everyday writing.
