Brause Index 29 nibs, pack of 3

The Brause Index 29 has a medium-fine point and space for a generous ink reserve. Choose this model for monoline lettering, where a fairly even line matters more than strong pressure variation. The pack contains three identical nibs.

What is included

• 3 Index 29 nibs
• Medium-fine pointed tip
• Loose nibs for a compatible dip-pen holder
• Holder and ink not included

Choose the right nib

The Index 29 is a different choice from a broad-edge Bandzug nib. You draw letters with the point rather than producing wide and narrow strokes with a flat writing edge. Compare the hard 513 nib for finer illustration details. No fixed millimetre width is specified for this Index nib.

Use and care

Use a compatible holder and ink suitable for dip pens. Check that the nib sits securely: not every holder has the same fitting. Test the ink on smooth paper, start with light pressure and practise evenly spaced strokes. Avoid catching the point in paper fibres. Clean it as directed for the ink and dry after use.
