#108 Litho Hawk Quill: The #108 is best for cross-hatching, flourishing and lithography.
The Hunt 108 is a crowquill nib with a moderate flex and bronze finish. This nib is capable of incredible line variation with the correct pressure, producing elegant hairlines and healthy swells. It holds a surprisingly large amount of ink for its small size and can handle lightly textured papers better than most extra-fine nibs.
Bronze finish quill pen for cross-hatching, flourishing and lithography. Great for high-detail drawing, Copperplate, and Spencerian. This nib is ideal for advanced-level calligraphers and artists.
The #108 can produce super fine hairlines and lovely wide shades with light pressure. It also has a surprisingly large ink-holding ability and isn't as scratchy as other superfine nibs. It works best on very smooth paper.
