Tom's Studio - Fountain Pen Nibs
Beauty is in the eye of the pen holder. Choose between 6 glorious nibs. There are two categories, my bespoke fountain pen nibs (with their creativity-inducing engraving) and the Pro-Flex calligraphy nib.
Made exclusively for our fountain pens, all of my nibs are tipped with incredibly hard-wearing iridium for super smooth writing, and are plated in a 14k gold for a classically stunning look. As a bonus all nibs can be interchanged so you can easily write in different styles whenever it suits you.
- Extra Fine Semi-Flex - A beautiful extra fine fountain pen nib with flex! This is a great middle-ground between the Pro Flex and our classic fountain pen nib, with its smooth writing experience and minimal maintenance. By applying a little pressure the nib will flex from 0.5mm to 1.5mm.
- Fine - A springy and smooth nib perfect for delicate thin strokes, with a smidge of flex if you're feeling creative.
- Medium - The go-to nib for the author, journaller or note-taker. This is a firm and consistent nib for everyday writing.
- Architect Fountain Pen Nib - This is the opposite of the Italic nib, with a broad cross stroke and a thin down stroke. It's my personal favourite - the effortless big juicy lines make it my go-to for sketching and everyday use. It's a BB (double broad), which means it has nice line variation and strokes around 1.2mm at it's thickest (horizontal) and 0.3mm on the downstroke. You can also use the nib upside down for a super fine hairline stroke.
- Cursive Italic Fountain Pen Nib - is a specialised nib that is designed to produce line variations in handwriting. It is a type of italic nib that has a smooth, rounded tip that is slightly flattened on the sides. This flattening creates two distinct writing surfaces: a broader downstroke (1mm(+-0.1)) and a thinner horizontal stroke (hairline - 0.2 mm).
The term "cursive" refers to the flowing nature of the script that is produced by this type of nib. The BB designation stands for "double broad," indicating that the nib produces a broad line that is twice as wide as a standard broad nib. With practice the cursive italic nib can produce stunning handwriting that is both distinctive and elegant.
- Titanium - This beauty is the ultimate flex as it's a lot softer than stainless steel nibs. It's perfectly paired with our fountain pens to practice calligraphy when you just want to get cracking without having to prep all your nibs and ink or you're out and about. Titanium is also bombproof so it will carry on writing for decades to come. It's the best flex nib with the least maintenance.
If you're looking for a professional grade nib my Pro-Flex Nib (PATENT PENDING) has been designed from the ground up and has a few novel features which separate it from the your standard flex nib. See it in all it's glory here.
