An architect nib, also known as a Hebrew or Arabic nib, is a fountain pen nib that produces thin vertical strokes and thick horizontal strokes, making it well-suited for print styles and certain artistic explorations. Architect nibs are crafted for precision and flair, offering a unique writing experience tailored for detailed work. These nibs are distinguished by their flat, broad-edge nibs, ideal for creating sharp lines and intricate details. Perfect for architects, designers, and calligraphers who appreciates the art of fine lines and structured writing. Unique Design: The tip of an architect nib is ground to a rectangular shape, with the horizontal edge being wider than the vertical edge. Line Variation: This design allows for a distinctive line variation, creating thin vertical strokes and bold horizontal strokes. The characteristics are right opposite of a stub nib. Writing Styles: Architect nibs are particularly well-suited for: Architectural drawings Arabic and Hebrew scripts Print style writing Angle is Key: To achieve the best results with an architect nib, it’s important to hold the pen at a consistent angle to ensure the flat grind of the nib makes full contact with the paper. You can select between 2 choices of surface finish– polished stainless steel (SSF) (offering a sleek silver appearance), 14k gold plating (providing a timeless gold look) —the distinction is purely aesthetic, with both options delivering the same outstanding performance. Exclusively crafted for our Desire, Heritage & Legacy fountain pens (can be fitted into other KW pen models on request).
