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.

Great nib!
I love the way I can get swells and thin lines! From talking with others, I'm not alone:)

Good for very delicate calligraphy/lines
While not the hardiest nib (super easy to warp it you're heavy on the pressure), I do keep this nib on hand for times when I need to write small - and have my strokes still come out crisp and contrasting. I've written out several poems, long quotes and sets of vows with it, and it's been really helpful when i want to add text into my miniature watercolors. If you purchase, buy several at a time to get you through a project.
