Brause - Steno Nibs

Steno Nibs

Master fine-line calligraphy with this elastic blue nib's flawless flow

Stenographers needed nibs that could keep pace with rapid speech, and Brause engineered this one to handle exactly that pressure. The Blue Pumpkin's distinctive bulbous reservoir holds enough ink for extended writing runs without constant dipping, while its fine point maintains legibility even at speed. That reservoir shape isn't decorative, it creates capillary action that feeds ink consistently to the tip, preventing the skips and blots that interrupt flow during fast note-taking.

High elasticity lets the nib flex under varying pressure without springing or splaying permanently, crucial for writers who press harder during intensive sessions. The fine point produces thin, uniform lines that pack maximum information onto minimal space, whether you're practicing Gregg shorthand or developing compressed notation systems. Modern calligraphers and sketch artists have adopted these nibs for detailed line work and expressive drawing that benefits from controlled line variation.

The blue lacquer finish identifies authentic Brause manufacture while protecting the steel from corrosion. Compatible with standard nib holders, the Steno adapts to your existing setup without requiring specialized equipment.
