The Gillott 1950 is a uniquely shaped, fairly stiff nib. This pen has a small, sharp point plus an expanded end that allows it to fit into standard holders, unlike most extra-fine nibs. Like all sharp nibs, the 1950 does not operate well on textured papers.

Produces good hairlines and can be used for Spencerian and Copperplate, but performs best as a drawing nib. This nib is ideal for intermediate or advanced level calligraphers and is not recommended for beginners.
This nib is included in our Copperplate Sampler

Measurements: 38mm long x 5mm at widest / 3mm at narrowest

    There is not much this nib cannot do. It has a wide range of mark sizes and is great for both drawing and lettering. Considering how long and narrow it is, it is surprisingly flexible, though definitely be careful with how much pressure is put on it. I wish it were easier to get a hold of (sold in stores or other online places mainly—if nothing else just to compare reviews from other audiences), but Paper & Ink Arts is absolutely phenomenal, so I have really come to love ordering these nibs from them (and most of my other unique lettering supplies)!
