This interesting monoline nib is based upon 19th century designs that allowed users to write quickly without sacrificing legibility. Slightly up-turned ballpoint tip is similar to fountain pen nibs, and the Leonardt 300 produces smooth upstrokes and nice thicks and thins when enough pressure is applied.
This nib is perfect for American Cursive Handwriting, but is not our first choice for traditional pointed pen hands such as Copperplate and Spencerian. Great for modern calligraphy styles and everyday writing. Nickel finish. Ideal for beginner to intermediate penmen.
This nib is included in our Copperplate Sampler
Measurements: 40mm long x 6.5mm at widest / 4.5mm at narrowest
Discounts are as follows: 12-35 $0.89 each 36+ $0.79 each

Leonardt 300 'ballpoint' (bowl point) nib
NOTE : I'm new to all this, so I'm experimenting with all this! Leonardt 300 'ballpoint' (I think this was actually classified as a 'bowl point' because it doesn't have the smooth ball halves, but actually depressed flattened and curled up ends) This nib I was hoping to replace my fountain pen with. It ended up being scratchy instead of smooth, held very little ink and even when it had ink, it was very difficult to start. I made a test swatch book where I put all my fountain pens and Dip Pen nibs and inks to the same test, so that I can directly compare ease of use, line variation, and ink consumption. Overall :for a new nib, this ranked slightly above a 30yo rusty 'Eagle Pencil Co "Tutor E740" NY, NY', and a similarly aged 'Signature 6 Gold Ballpoint USA'. 2 STARS

Nice for outlines
I like this ballpointed nib for outlining illuminations and filigree work. I like that it is not as pointy as a Nikko but is still stiff.
