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.

not for beginners
Definetely not for beginners... But once you get to intermediate level, it's just so beautiful to write with. Creates amazing thin and thick strokes, which makes it good for Copperplate. I think it's not for all kind of inks either. Some inks work fine, others don't that well.

Great Pointed Nib
This nib has a very thin upstroke and minimal catching. I also love the thicker swells during downstrokes. It is also very flexible and great for Spencerian and Copperplate. This is in my top two of pointed nibs.
