This Hiro Leonardt Nib set No. 4 is a curated calligraphy and illustration kit presented in a practical plastic box containing 11 nibs plus a nib holder and pick-up magnet. These ornamental nibs are ideal for writing and drawing.
This specific set is designed for creating uniform, evenly wide strokes, making it highly suitable for ornamental lettering, drafting, and specialised scripts. Unlike fountain pens, dip pens easily accommodate denser mediums like drawing inks, acrylic inks, gouache, and watercolour.
The Hiro Leonardt Nib set No. 4 contains the following:
- 10 ornamental nibs - featuring a ladle-shaped (disc) point designed to deliver constant line widths - in sizes 0.05 mm ○ 0.75 mm ○ 1 mm ○ 1.5 mm ○ 2 mm ○ 2.5 mm ○ 3 mm ○ 3.5 mm ○ 4 mm ○ 5 mm
- 1 stenographer nib - a highly flexible pointed nib that is excellent for fine, expressive script styles (such as Old English or shorthand)
- 1 universal pen holder compatible with all the included nibs
- 1 pick-up magnet - a small magnetic tool included to help easily remove or manage the sharp steel nibs within the case
TIP! Brand-new nibs are shipped with a protective layer of manufacturer's oil to prevent rust. Before your first use, gently clean them with window cleaner, a touch of toothpaste, or soapy water to ensure ink adheres and flows smoothly instead of pooling.
TIP! Use hard, sized paper: avoid soft, fibrous, or lightweight notebook papers, as the sharp metal tines can snag and cause the ink to feather or bleed. Opt for papers featuring internal or surface sizing (such as smooth mixed-media paper, heavy drawing paper, or cardstock) so the nib glides effortlessly.
