Description
There are two different kind of nibs, broad-edge and pointed, which can be inserted into Speedball Pen Holders. When lettering Italic, Roman, Blackletter, etc., select a broad-edged tool like the C-Series Speedball nibs. When lettering pointed pen hands, such as Copperplate, use a flexible pointed nib such as the Speedball 99 or 103. For monoline lettering, select a Speedball B-series nib.
Will any nib fit any holder?
While our standard straight holders accommodate most nibs, Crow and Hawk Quill nibs like the #102, #104 and #107 require a specific holder. Oblique holders are also only recommended for pointed pen nibs like the #101, #99, and #22B. Our 2-in-1 Holder combines a straight and Oblique holder and is suitable for use with nearly any Broad Edge or Pointed Pen Nibs except the #102, #107 and #104.
