N77. Hunt 101 Imperial.
A very steady and durable nib, the Hunt 101 is a great choice for projects that require larger writing with x-heights above 1/4". It can be used on most paper surfaces, though it can have a tendency to catch on the upstroke when used on a rougher surface. The Hunt 101 requires firm and deliberate pressure to open swells, while its strength and steadiness makes it an ideal selection for student practice. Bronze finish.

- Good thick/thin contrast
- In JNB Pointed Nib Sampler (N154)
- Made in USA
- Bronze-finish steel
- Stamped on nib: 101 / Hunt / Imperial / U.S. A.
Shinah of Crooked Calligraphy notes that the Hunt Imperial 101 nib is "a super flexible nib with a very sharp point best suited for advanced calligraphers," and "because of its flexibility and sharp point" she finds this nib is "great for delicate styles that require a lot of control and precision, like Copperplate." Shinah discusses in more detail her five favorite nibs (Nikko G, Brause Steno, Brause 66EF, Leonard Hiro 41, and Hunt 101) here: https://www.crookedcalligraphy.com/blog/choosing-calligraphy-nibs. She teaches a very popular, 8-week, live-taught online class, Modern Calligraphy 101.

Hunt 101
This nib has a real flair, heavy down strokes and hair-line up strokes. It requires a little learning to use it properly.

Excellent nibs

Best ever!
Always my go-to nib. Love the contrast between hairlines and swells, holds a decent amount of ink, suitable for a wide range of x-heights (for very small 3mm I prefer the Gillott 303), perfect flex, doesn't catch on most paper, can be used with slightly textured paper.

Arrived so quick
I ordered 5 different nibs and the package was shipped the same day!

my first nib
The Hunt 101 was my first nib for pointed pen calligraphy--it was one of the few nibs at my local art supply store. I'm happy now that it was my first nib instead of Nikko G or Zebra G--because I learned pressure control early on--though I recall it was a slow process. The G nibs were not available then.

Love it
I love the Hunt 101. I get the best results with it when I use Coliro paints.
