Calligraphy Supplies

Brause nibs can be used with Herbin calligraphy Inks for writing, drawing and decoration.

CALLIGRAPHY NIBS & NIB HOLDERS

Brause nibs can be found in the toolbox of many calligraphers, lettering artists, penmen and illustrators. Famous nibs include the Steno, nicknamed "Blue Pumpkin," the Extra Fine Point, also known as "Arrow," the Rose, and the Index Finger.

Offering a subtle balance between relative elasticity for easier writing, and the resistance necessary for clear strokes, Brause Nibs are manufactured from cold rolled steel and pressed with tools specific to each model and nib size.
