Speedball - Hunt Artists' Pen Nibs--Extra Fine No. 22-B
Hunt Artists' Pen Nibs--Extra Fine No. 22-B
Execute precise ornamental lettering and ruling with this medium-stiff nib
Bronze-finished steel flexes just enough for controlled ornamental work without the instability that makes fine ruling impossible. The No. 22-B occupies that practical middle ground, stiff enough to maintain consistent lines across technical drawing and precise lettering, flexible enough to respond to pressure variations in decorative scripts. Medium stiffness means the nib won't splay under normal writing pressure but still allows subtle line variation when you need it.
Handcrafted from high-grade steel in the USA, each nib undergoes individual finishing to ensure the extra-fine point maintains its geometry through extended use. The bronze finish provides corrosion resistance while the point geometry handles fine ruling work, detailed illustration, and ornamental writing with equal capability. This versatility makes the 22-B valuable for calligraphers who shift between strict letterforms and flourished decoration within the same piece.
The nib fits standard pen holders, pair it with Speedball's #9451, General's Cork Grip, or any Speedball Classic holder. Purchase nibs individually so you can keep sharp replacements on hand rather than forcing worn points through work that demands precision. One dull nib can compromise hours of careful lettering.
