Brause Bandzug Classic Fountain Pen

Draw, write and letter with a Brause Bandzug nib fitted to our Classic Fountain Pen. The Brause Brandzug nib is use for calligraphy, particularly for creating bold, sharp lines in styles like Gothic, Italic, and Roman lettering, thanks to its unique square cut tip and ink reservoir allowing for precise upstrokes and distinct letterforms. Bangzug nibs come in a range of six sizes measured across the front of the nib from 1mm to 6mm. We only stock the 2mm size which is a good compromise. The Brause Bandzug nib is considered ideal for broad-edged calligraphy with a strong visual impact because of these features:

• Square cut tip - this design creates a sharp, defined line with noticeable differences between downstrokes and upstrokes.
• Ink reservoir: The nib has a small reservoir on top to hold ink, allowing for longer writing sessions between dips.
• Best suited for: Gothic, Italic, and Roman calligraphy styles
• Precision and control: The sharp angles of the nib provide precise control over line thickness and letter shapes

You can retain the topside reservoir when you use this nib in your Classic Fountain Pen if you make sure the reservoir tabs don't press against the feed. You can also remove the reservoir because you no longer need to dip these nibs - ink flows easily to the tip. The reservoir slides off and presses on easily. You can also order this pen with our overfeed - it rests easily on top of the Brause Bandzug nib as long as you remove the reservoir.
