Description

The Brause Calligraphy Design 511 Medium Drawing Nib is a highly flexible steel nib designed for artists and calligraphers who want expressive, controlled line variation. Manufactured in Germany by Brause, a trusted name since 1850, this nib is known for producing ultra-fine hairlines combined with subtle swells when used with a light hand.

Compared to the Brause 513, the 511 offers greater flexibility, making it more responsive but also more demanding to control. Because of its sharper feel, it performs best on smooth paper and is recommended for intermediate to advanced calligraphers. It is especially well suited for Spencerian script, Copperplate lettering, fine drawing work, and miniature writing where precision and elegance are essential.
