Vintage Set fine tip calligraphy nibs, compatible with all Bortoletti pens.
Doing calligraphy with vintage nibs means putting the focus on the rules of beauty and harmony. It no longer represents only text and words, but ranges with elegant calligraphy as a true expression of art.
The shape of calligraphy nibs derives from the way quill pens were anciently worked.
One of the special features of the calligraphy nib is its flexibility; thanks to its shape and slit, it allows for varying pressure on the page.
In the descending, downward strokes, the nib widens, thus producing the chiaroscuro effect typical of handwriting.
The major English nib companies were Mitchell, Perry, Mason, and Gillot, while the major Italian brands born after 1920 were Presbitero, Ruspi, Locati, and Legnani.
The particular feature of this nib is the flexibility given by the shape and slit.
Calligraphy is the art of forming letters with beauty and grace and is a passion shared by people all over the world.
The first step is to learn the rules to be applied consistently and to become familiar with the tools of calligraphy.
