I have a tribal tattoo or calligraphy work. This feature is absolutely necessary.

Hi nikki.m
 
Welcome to the forums.
 
If you switch to the Pixel persona the brush tools have options to adjust the shape, rotation and other dynamics of the brushes. Our devs have plans to include a Calligraphic line tool sometime in the future.

@ Guenterm yes this would be great if it was ‘Vector’ but is not vector it is ‘Pixel’
The ‘Affinity’ you have hand written above with a ‘Pixel’ pen would have taken you 20-30 second
Now I challenge you to replicate it exactly in affinity designer as a ‘Vector’ to get the genuine hand drawn look could take you hours. In Adobe Illustrator it takes seconds to do.
Be careful how you spend your time learning if you want to do efficient vector calligraphy then at the present time 'Affinity Designer' ranks on the bottom of the list from all the vector graphic suites including the “free” options.
Don’t get me wrong I love 'Affinity Suite' for everything else I really like the work flow of both personas in one place.  

Affinity -Please- it has been ‘Nine Years’
That’s right 9 years ago that this has been requested.
For me it is the ‘Elephant in the Room’ for Affinity.
I have spent 1000’s of hours designing art work this is crippling me. I cannot do the artwork in pixel it needs to be vector.
At the very least can you create a ‘Blob’ brush with calligraphy pen options. I believe this would be a more efficient use of computing power as it would auto expand and join together resulting in less individual curve layers. 
The crazy part is calligraphy is only about 5% of my design work yet I use the calligraphy pen for 95% of all my design work even my finished work, 5% is adjusting vector points - I have found this to be super-fast time efficient work flow.
10 times faster than the current affinity designer vector workflow.
The difference is like wearing gloves and using crayons to do my line artwork in affinity.
Yes! I have spent 100's of hours in affinity trying to replicate the work flow and No! it can’t be done 'efficiently' in Affinity’s current state 2.1
Again, Affinity is awesome in every other way.
Help me kick from my dependence on the adobe calligraphy brush and blob brush. 
Then I can kick 'Adobe' to the curb. 

Many users have requested the calligraphic (angle-fixed) brushes feature since a long time ago, but even after five years of using it, it is still not added. I expected v2 to come out, but it still doesn't have that function.
Is there no plan to support call graphic brushes in serif?

I'm trying to look for an angled/tilted brush for hand writing with my pen tablet. I know it sounds extremely simple – it's one of the default brushes on Adobe Illustrator – but I can't seem to find it on Affinity Designer.
 
Everything is rounded... Some taper off a the ends. But none are actually angled. Please help!
