These flat “C” nibs are designed for Roman, text and italic lettering. They work well for creating accented line drawings, scrolls and scripts.
Sets of 2 nibs are available in C0/C1, C2/C3, and C4/C5. C0 represents the widest nib forming the thickest line, while C5 represents the narrowest nib that forms the thinnest line.
Nib holders are sold separately, choose from the Speedball Calligraphy Pen Holder and General's Cork Grip Pen Holder. Speedball nibs in A-Style Square and B-Style Round are also available, as well as Speedball Artists' Pen Points. Use Speedball Pen Cleaner to keep your nibs in tip-top shape and extend their lifetime.
FLAX art & design is a genuine Oakland institution. Opening their first store in 1938, they're now on their 3rd generation of family ownership and have recently relocated to a beautiful new Downtown location that could best be described as a "toy store for artists." 80 years in and they're still putting art and community front and center. You can visit them at their own site here, or find more of their products right here on Keep Oakland Alive.
