The numbers designate the width of the nib of the pen for more or less thick strokes. Unique by sharpness of its angles and by the precision of its upstrokes, the Bandzug nib gives incomparable Gothic letters.

The nib holder is a natural wood pen holder for a sleek, modern look. Ergonomic, it offers optimal grip and real writing pleasure. The Jacques Herbin calligraphy ink is coloured with pigments. The gum contained in the ink ensures perfect adhesion to the pen. 

The brush is used to deposit the ink on the feathers.
