The Gillott 303 is a pointed nib that is excellent for Copperplate calligraphy. This nib has the perfect flexibility: it's not too stiff or too rubbery, although it performs best under a light hand. The 303 is very sharp and is best used on smooth papers, but can operate on lightly textured surfaces under an expert hand.

Endorsed by Eleanor Winters in Mastering Copperplate Calligraphy along with the Gillott 404. This nib is ideal for intermediate or advanced level calligraphers and is not recommended for beginners.

For more information about the performance of this nib, including tips for best use, comparative charts, and example artwork, read our blog post with Schin Loong from @openinkstand.

  • Doré 5

    Posted by Laura Rachel on May 17th 2024

    I've experimented with this pen nib and I love it for a specific reason, it was really nice to try to imitate Gustave Doré thin-to-thick wavy lines with it. It's flexible but not so easily to the point of of mistakenly make a thick line, and I'd love to write more with it on next opportunities, because it has smoother O's shapes for writing too even when keeping really good thin lines.

  • Go;;ptt 303 nib 4

    Posted by Sandy on Oct 11th 2023

    I greatly enjoy this mib. It is one of my favorites for variations in fine lines and swells. Not as delicate as the Gillott 170, but a very lovely nib.
