LITERAS kaligrafija, Zlatka Tr
As both a heavy-handed calligraphy beginner and an advanced artist, I find this nib to be perfect for my needs. It has become my go-to choice for modern calligraphy and teaching beginner classes. In my opinion, it is the best first nib to start your calligraphy journey. One of the standout features of the Nikko G Nib is its remarkable durability. It withstands the pressures of heavy-handed writing with ease, making it an ideal tool for beginners who may apply more pressure on the nib. This durability ensures that the nib maintains its integrity even after extensive use, providing consistent and reliable performance. The Nikko G Nib has become an invaluable asset in my classes. Its forgiving nature and user-friendly design help students develop their skills and build confidence in their lettering. It allows them to focus on learning the fundamentals of calligraphy without being hindered by a finicky nib.
