Premium Bortoletti Calligraphy Nibs Set of 10 - Flexible Steel Nib Pen Tips for Hand Lettering, Dip Pens & Art Projects - Perfect for Wedding Invitations, Scrapbooking & Creative Writing

Made in Italy, this set of nibs is ideal for perfecting the art of handwriting. Included are 10 steel nibs that are compatible with all Bortoletti nib holders. The truncated-tip nibs are used for various types of writing including Gothic calligraphy, while the flexible-tip nibs are used most commonly for cursive writing.

The shape of the nibs is inspired by traditional techniques - a vertical slit to allow for an ink reserve and a horizontal one that determines the shape of the tip. When first used, the calligraphy nib needs to be heated with a flame to remove the protective varnish.
