Description

Speedball manufactures a nib that is precisely-crafted to suit your needs.  Our commitment to quality is evident in every nib that is created in our plant in Statesville, North Carolina.  Utilizing the same historically proven processes specifically catered to each individual nib’s design, Speedball takes painstaking measures to ensure that each of our nibs meets even the most discerning standards.  In addition to the highly-trained team that is responsible for making your Speedball nib, we have a dedicated member of our Speedball family that hand-inspects all nibs, one by one, that passes through production.  That way, our valued artists never have to worry about their writing experience ahead when using a trusted Speedball nib..

Patented in 1913 and introduced two years later, the A-Series nib is where it all started for Speedball.  Its unique multi-purpose design allows artists to create a variety of strokes with just a flip of the pen.

  • Hold the A-Series nib perpendicular to the base line, keeping the ‚Äúshoe‚Äù of the pen nib flat on the paper‚Äôs surface. This produces a uniform stroke in any direction with squared beginnings and endings.
  • Hold the A-Series nib at an angle to achieve either diamond-shaped beginning and ending stroke or a square finish on a diagonal stroke.
  • Turn the A-Series nib on its back to use the broad, flat end of the pen to produce either lettering with thicks and thins or to create the serifs on lettering of uniform width.

Available in (6) nib widths, the A-Series nib is ideal for any Gothic or Monoline lettering style that has lines of uniform width with a squared finish.  Suitable for use with any straight/classic style penholder.
