Calligraphy fountain pen nibs, unlike cursive fountain pen nibs, have no tipping material. They are ground flat across the point, with slightly rounded corners, so that a horizontal stroke on the page is thinner than a vertical stroke.

Sometimes called stub nibs or italic nibs, calligraphy fountain pen nibs are denoted by their point width in millimetres, rather than Fine, Medium, Broad etc.

We have them is stock in sizes standard size 5 (type 180), short size 5 (type 060), wide shoulder size 5 (type 076) and standard size 6 (type 250), all of which are available in 1.1mm, 1.5mm and 1.9mm point sizes.

Standard size 5 and standard size 6 calligraphy nibs are also available in "kit compatible" housings, which fit a wide range of commercially available pen kits for pen turners - please enquire if you are unsure which housing you require.
