Today, I'm sharing my top 5 calligraphy nib recommendations, perfect for every skill level from beginners to pros.

When I first started calligraphy, choosing the right nib felt overwhelming. But after lots of trial and error, I found these nibs to be the best for different stages of learning.

First Nib: Nikko G
Great for beginners, the Nikko G strikes a balance of flexibility and sharpness, making it easy to control strokes.

Second Nib: Blue Pumpkin
Similar to Nikko G, but with a slightly rounded tip, making it great for textured paper. Also known as Brause 361 Steno and Leonardt Hiro 40.

Third Nib: Gillott 404
More flexible than Nikko G, offering versatility in writing. Works especially well with metallic inks.

Fourth & Fifth Nibs: Leonardt Principal EF and Hunt 101
These flexible nibs offer controlled strokes and beautiful contrast between thin hairlines and thick shades.

As your skills improve, you'll enjoy the magic of flexible nibs.
