Description

N120. Leonardt Principal EF Nib.

You can now purchase a modern nib that is equal to the best of the vintage nibs. Brian Walker, a respected pointed pen enthusiast, has worked with a pen manufacturer to duplicate the quality and performance of the legendary Gillott No 1 Principality. The new nib has received rave reviews for both Copperplate and Spencerian. It's flexible and responsive and gives fine hairlines, but is smooth-writing and catches the paper less.

- Very flexible
- Excellent nib for pointed pen scripts
- Sharp point, but still smooth writing
- Thich/thin contrast is very good
- Recommended by Michael Sull for heavily-shanded Spencerian and for very delicate work (for intermediate and advanced scribes)
- In JNB Pointed Nib Sampler (N154)
- Made in England
- Bronze-finish steel
- Stamped on nib: D. Leonardt & Co. / EF / Principal / England

    EF Principal Nib

    Posted by Sarah H. on Oct 19th 2021

    This is a super flexible nib that produces perfectly fine hairlines. I highly recommend the EF Principal nib for intermediate to advanced level pointed pen calligraphers. Beginners should choose a less flexible and less sharp nib.

    Amazing!

    I love the flex that this nib gives! Paired with my Moon Palace, I get beautiful swells and hairlines that are crisp and stunning.

    Best nib I've used.

    Posted by Callum Stewart on Apr 9th 2014

    I'm not the best at calligraphy as I've only been doing it for 2 years now and every nib I've used is either too soft and makes ink bead up on the paper or too tough and rips the paper.Yet with this nib it is nice and soft (not too soft of course) yet it doesn't drop beads of ink on your paper. I definitely recommend this nib over every other nib!

    Perfect!

    I've finally found the perfect nib for me, my search is over! This is an exceptional nib for Spencerian and Copperplate. Such fine hair lines, firm but also flexible, superb control.

    Fantastic nib!

    Posted by Tara on Oct 25th 2012

    This is the best nib I've ever used and I've used a lot of nibs. It is super flexible yet strong and can make very, very fine lines and then if you push a little harder it makes wonderful fat lines. I love it!
