You need the deepest, softest graphite marks without scraping the paper raw. The 4B is where Staedtler's special lead formulation really shines — a super-bonded core that lays down rich, velvety black while still holding together when you press. No crumbling, no broken tips mid-stroke. Hexagonal barrel keeps it steady on the desk and comfortable in the hand for extended sketching or tonal work. Twelve pencils, 2 mm lead diameter, ready to go. Add to cart
