The Speedball C3 Calligraphy Nibs are a strong choice for calligraphers and lettering artists who want a clean broad-edge line with good balance and control. The C-Series is designed to be held at a constant angle, creating the thick and thin stroke contrast associated with traditional broad-edge calligraphy. This makes the series suitable for styles such as Roman, Carolingian, Uncial, Italic, Gothicized Italic, Blackletter, and Neuland.
The C3 size is especially versatile, offering enough width to show clear calligraphic contrast without being too broad for general lettering use. Retail descriptions identify it as ideal for Roman and Italic lettering, text, bold lines, scrolls, and scripts.
Crafted from steel, these nibs feature Speedball’s triple reservoir construction for greater ink holding capacity and smoother uninterrupted flow. They are well suited to dip-pen calligraphy, decorative writing, handmade cards, invitations, and other projects where visible line character matters.
