{"product_id":"speedball-modern-calligraphy-kit","title":"Modern Calligraphy Kit","description":"\u003cp\u003eA comprehensive kit eliminates the confusion of assembling calligraphy supplies piecemeal. This 21-piece collection includes both pointed pen nibs for Copperplate and Spencerian scripts plus broad-edge nibs for foundational hands like Gothic and Italic, letting you explore different calligraphic traditions without purchasing separate systems. The metallic black 2-in-1 penholder switches between straight and oblique configurations, adapting to your script choice rather than forcing you to buy multiple holders.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFour ink options expand your palette beyond standard black. Super Black India Ink provides dense opacity for traditional work, while three metallic acrylics, rose gold, white, and black, handle decorative flourishing and modern applications. An eyedropper gives you precise control when filling nibs, preventing the over-inking that causes blotting in detailed letterforms.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe included Speedball Textbook delivers 120 pages of actual instruction rather than inspirational fluff: stroke fundamentals, historical scripts, troubleshooting common problems. Twelve nibs span the range from fine pointed work through broad Roman capitals, with duplicates of the workhorse #101 nib since beginners inevitably damage their first few. A Viarco 2B pencil handles layout and guidelines. Everything stores in a sturdy presentation box that keeps nibs organized and protected between practice sessions.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Speedball","offers":[{"title":"calligraphy kit","offer_id":47973881250021,"sku":"67503","price":60.06,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0726\/6890\/5701\/files\/s67503.jpg?v=1761726632","url":"https:\/\/www.texasart.com\/products\/speedball-modern-calligraphy-kit","provider":"Texas Art Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
