The Leonardt Principal is a favorite of many calligraphers, including Michael Sull. Extra-fine and very flexible, the Principal produces fine hairlines and healthy swells, and glides across textured surfaces like a dream. Modeled on the rare vintage Principality No. 1, this nib was produced with the expert advice of lettering artists and is a fine choice for many styles: Copperplate, Spencerian, modern calligraphy, and more. Bronze finish. This nib is ideal for intermediate or advanced level calligraphers and is not recommended for beginners.

Great nib
After reading about how well-loved this nib is in the calligraphy community, of course I had to get some for myself. This is a great nib and not difficult (in my opinion) for a beginner-intermediate level.

A personal fave
I am a neophyte calligraphy student who has tried around 6-8 nibs. The Leonardt Principal EF has made the top three in my book. The ability to make fine hairlines and decent swells have been achieved for me with this nib. I have tried others similar, like 101; but NONE perform like the LP for me! I really enjoy using this nib and plan on buying in bulk going forward.
