This popular calligraphy nib, often referred to as the "Blue Pumpkin," is known for its exceptional performance. It features a fine, highly elastic point with excellent ink flow and a large ink capacity, making it one of the top choices for Copperplate and Modern Calligraphy.
Its rounded tip allows it to perform smoothly even on slightly rougher paper surfaces.
Compared to the HIRO 40 (also called Blue Pumpkin), the Brause Steno nib is stiffer and more robust, producing thinner, more precise hairlines. It's also often recommended for beginners due to its balance of flexibility and control.
Many calligraphers prefer it because it holds more ink than the HIRO 40 and works well with thicker inks, such as sumi.
Durable and reliable, this nib is a must-have for both beginners and experienced calligraphers alike.
