Leonardt EF Principal Nib

Super nice nib for a beginner to Copperplate or Spencerian! Very smooth, with fine hairline strokes.

So very different to the cheap nibs. This is my favourite.

Bought as a gift

I purchased this nib as a gift along with a calligraphy pen, inks, pad and another nib. I also purchased 2 wren pens (1 for me and another as a gift) and ink. The packaging was fabulous, especially the wrens, however I was so disappointed with the packaging of the calligraphy pen. I had to purchase a pen case in order to give the gift. Both my friend and I love the Wrens, will definitely be purchasing again, I might give the Lumos a go, however, my feedback is to change the packaging on the calligraphy pens.

Most adequate nib

The nib is pleasant enough. Sufficiently flexible and strong. Doesn’t hold ink that well, but it is easy to prevent.
Unreservedly recommend it for quick writing and sketching.

Excellent nib

I am so excited to have found Tom’s Studio - not only am I thrilled with the two nibs, but I love the pen holder too. Hurray - I can definitely reccommend.
