Calligraphy Kit

Master elegant italic lettering with professional nibs and archival ink

Three C-series nibs in graduated widths (C-1, C-2, C-3), a straight penholder, and 2 ounces of Super Black India ink. The C-series nibs feature squared edges that create the thick-thin stroke variation characteristic of italic scripts, while their moderate flexibility forgives the inconsistent pressure that comes with early practice.

Super Black India ink flows smoothly through these nibs without clogging, delivering dense, waterproof lines that won't feather on quality paper. The three nib widths let you explore different lettering scales, C-1 for larger display work, C-3 for smaller text, helping you understand how letter proportions shift with tool size. The straight penholder provides neutral grip positioning, letting you focus on developing proper pen angle and consistent rhythm without fighting your tools.

Everything stores together between practice sessions. You're equipped to work through foundational exercises and simple compositions without immediately needing additional supplies. Start with basic strokes, progress to letter forms, and build the muscle memory that makes fluid italic writing possible.
