Three popular nib styles in one set

This set comprises three copperplate nibs: Crown, Point Extra Fine, and Shorthand. Each nib offers a slightly different writing feel, allowing you to experiment with line quality, pressure, and control as you develop your technique. Together, they provide a practical introduction to the variety available within pointed-pen calligraphy and help you discover which nib style best suits your hand and preferred script.

Ideal for copperplate and fine script work

Leonardt copperplate nibs are well suited to traditional dip-pen calligraphy styles that rely on fine upstrokes, controlled pressure, and elegant contrast between hairlines and shaded strokes. This makes the set a strong option for copperplate practice, formal script work, decorative lettering, and careful handwriting projects. For learners, using a small range of nibs can be a helpful way to understand how nib choice affects writing performance and finished results.

Suitable for beginners and experienced calligraphers

This nib set is ideal for both beginners and experienced calligraphers. Beginners benefit from having a ready-selected group of traditional nibs to try without needing to choose individual styles at the outset. More experienced users will appreciate the convenience of a set containing three well-known nib types that can support different writing tasks, from delicate script practice to more expressive pointed-pen work.

Compatible with standard dip pen holders

These copperplate nibs are designed for use with suitable dip pen holders, making them a practical addition to a traditional calligraphy setup. Paired with quality calligraphy ink and smooth practice paper, they can help support cleaner strokes and a more enjoyable writing experience. They also work well as part of a broader nib collection for anyone developing skill in pointed-pen lettering.

A useful gift for pointed-pen enthusiasts
