Brause - Cito Fein Calligraphy Nibs

Cito Fein Calligraphy Nibs

Achieve hairline precision in pointed pen calligraphy and fine lettering

Fine monoline work demands a nib that maintains consistent line width through varied letter forms and pressure changes. The Cito Fein delivers that control with its 0.3mm point, narrow enough for delicate script yet robust enough to handle the directional shifts that calligraphy requires. Semi-elastic steel construction provides just enough flex to accommodate natural writing rhythm without the dramatic thick-thin variation of traditional pointed nibs.

This gold-colored nib excels at Gothic minuscule, foundational hand, and any style where uniform stroke width matters more than contrast. The fine point tracks smoothly through tight curves and precise terminals, while Brause's steel formulation resists springing under normal writing pressure. Artists working with sumi ink or iron gall find the Cito Fein handles these fluids without corroding prematurely, though regular cleaning extends nib life significantly.

Three nibs per pack gives you backups when working on extended pieces. Mount in standard nib holders for immediate use. The semi-elastic quality means this nib forgives minor pressure variations while maintaining line consistency, essential for lengthy passages where fatigue can affect hand control.
