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.

    Because of the Principle's ability to create the finest of lines, it has quickly become a must have in my Copperplate work. Love it!

    After reading about how well-loved this nib is in the calligraphy community, of course I had to get some for myself. This is a great nib and not difficult (in my opinion) for a beginner-intermediate level.
