Three useful nib sizes in one set

This set includes round hand nibs in sizes 1, 2 and 3, giving you a versatile range for different lettering scales and styles.

Having several nib widths in one set makes it easier to experiment with proportion and layout.

Reservoirs for longer writing flow

Each nib in the set includes a reservoir, helping to hold more ink and reduce the need for frequent dipping.
