Speedball Hunt Calligraphy Nib #99 Drawing

#99 Standard Drawing Nib — Extra fine point, especially for drafting and lithography.

The #99 is a strikingly high flex nib, needing the slightest pressure to create dramatic, bold swells. These Flexible Pen Point Nibs are also known as Hunt Artists' Pen Nibs. Although the #99 demands a very light touch, this nib can produce bold, beautiful lettering under an expert hand and performs well on textured papers.

The Hunt# 99 is best for modern calligraphy styles or drawing, but it can produce hairlines small enough for Copperplate. Not suitable for Spencerian. This nib is ideal for intermediate or advanced level calligraphers and is not recommended for beginners.

Measurements: 27.5mm long x 5mm wide

The #22B, #56 and #99 nibs may all be used with either a straight/classic style or oblique penholder.
