This nib from Brause is modeled on a vintage nib design and features a lovely embossed rose on the body. Rose nibs are incredibly flexible but remain strong and dependable nonetheless. This pointed nib's high flex can be difficult to get used to and requires a gentle hand, but once mastered creates dramatic contrasts between hairlines and swells that are hard to reproduce with other G nibs like the Nikko, Zebra, or Tachikawa.

Works best with diluted ink.
This nib is ideal for intermediate or advanced level calligraphers and is not recommended for beginners.
Well-loved by Lindsey Bugbee from The Postmans Knock.

  • Beautiful design but not happy with the quality 3

    Very classic and well known nib from Brause with a beautiful rose design on the body. Looking great on an antique pen holder. So it's a solid 5 stars for the look of this nib. However this nib does not hold as much ink that you will have to dip it very often. It's great for bigger lettering and with a VERY flexible nib. You will need to practice a lot to master this nib. It's not recommended for beginners and those with a heavy hand. It would also require very fine paper to write on with. The nib is smooth I had some problems with it sometimes the tines get caught and makes ink to splash on paper.

    I like this nib. It holds a lot of ink and is very flexible- definitely not a good nib for beginners, since it requires a very light hand. However, it gives very good movement once you've mastered how to use it and the contrast between the thick and thin lines is gorgeous. It can be difficult sometimes if your ink is too thick, because it's prone to making a glob of ink if you're too heavy handed.
