Broad-edge nibs and pointed nibs for Traditional Calligraphy

Traditional Calligraphy Nibs

A broad-edge nib does the work for you. Hold it at a consistent angle and the thicks and thins appear on their own, which is why the traditional hands look so even.

Our range covers William Mitchell round hand, Leonardt, Brause Bandzug and Speedball, in square cut and left oblique cut, with reservoirs, sets and packs. Our guide to the top five best-selling nibs for traditional calligraphy is a good starting point. You can also filter by handedness, type and brand.
