Speedball Broad Edge Pen Nib C1

C-Series

The third addition to the Speedball series of pen nibs, the C-Series, was introduced in 1918 in the 4th edition of The Speedball Textbook. This series features a traditional broad edge nib with a great degree of flexibility.

The most popular of the three broad edge offerings, the C-Series nib, is meant to be held at a constant angle throughout any traditional calligraphic alphabet (with minor variations needed, depending upon the lettering style).

This consistent angle gives the lettering artist the desired thick and thin strokes associated with broad edge calligraphy, such as Roman, Carolingian, Uncial, Italic, Gothicized Italic, Blackletter or Nuland.

Available in (6) nib widths in the original C-Series design, or (5) nib widths in our left-handed C-Series variation and suitable for use with any straight/classic style penholder.
