The Leonardt Principal is a favorite of many calligraphers, including Michael Sull. Extra-fine and very flexible, the Principal produces fine hairlines and healthy swells, and glides across textured surfaces like a dream. Modeled on the rare vintage Principality No. 1, this nib was produced with the expert advice of lettering artists and is a fine choice for many styles: Copperplate, Spencerian, modern calligraphy, and more. Bronze finish. This nib is ideal for intermediate or advanced level calligraphers and is not recommended for beginners.

Leonardt Extra Fine Principal nib
This was my favorite nib for extra fine lines until I found the Gillott 170, which is even finer. I do still love this nib and it is a toss-up between the two. I think this might perform better on envelopes than the Gillott 170 as it feels slightly stiffer, but still very responsive, offering good swells. This is a great nib.

Amazing nib for Copperplate
The sharp point on this tip is very flexible and requires a light touch. While it produces fine hairlines, It can also make dramatic swells with a little pressure. Although it costs more than most other nibs, it is definitely worth the price!!!
