From the manufacturer
A Century of Fine Pen Making
Speedball's proud heritage for pen-making began in 1899, when the C. Howard Hunt Pen Company began manufacturing and distributing steel pens. Nearly two decades later, in 1913, Hunt sought to improve upon the functionality of the lettering tools of the day and joined forces with master letterers Ross F. George and William H. Gordon in 1913 to contrive and perfect a nib with a reservoir. It was nicknamed “Speedball” because of the efficiency of the pen, which cut working time in half.
Since that time, the Speedball name has become synonymous with high-quality pen nibs. In addition, Speedball now proudly manufactures a suite of complementary products. From pen holders to dip inks & cleaners to calligraphy markers and fountain pens, Speedball offers the broadest range of supplies designed specifically for your drawing & lettering works.
Whether you prefer a broad edge nib or are a pointed pen enthusiast, Speedball manufactures a nib that is precisely-crafted to suit your needs. Our commitment to quality is evident in every nib that is created in our plant in North Carolina. Utilizing the same historically proven processes specifically catered to each individual nib’s design, Speedball takes painstaking measures to ensure that each of our nibs meets even the most discerning standards. In addition to the highly-trained team that is responsible for making your Speedball nib, we have a dedicated member of our Speedball family that hand-inspects all nibs, one by one, that passes through production. That way, our valued artists never have to worry about their writing experience ahead when using a trusted Speedball nib.
Hand Crafted in the United States from the Finest Steel Since 1899

A-SeriesPatented in 1913 and introduced two years later, the A-Series nib is where it all started for Speedball. Its unique multi-purpose design allows artists to create a variety of strokes with just a flip of the pen. The A-Series is ideal for any Gothic or Monoline lettering style that has lines of uniform width with a squared finish. |
B-SeriesThe B-Series nib made its debut in the 2nd edition of The Speedball Textbook in 1916. Like the A-Series, the B-Series has a bent end to form a “shoe” that can easily produce a uniform width line. Unlike its counterpart, the Speedball B-Series nib has a rounded finish that makes it ideal for creating sans serif letters without thick and thin lines.The B-Series is perfect for creating a variety of monoline lettering, drawn letters (e.g. Versals) and “built-up” letters, such as the Double Stroke Poster Roman. |
C-SeriesThe third addition to the Speedball series of pen nibs, the C-Series, was introduced in 1918 in the 4th This series features a traditional broad edge nib with a great degree of flexibility. Our most popular of the three broad edge offerings, the C-Series nib is meant to be held at a constant angle throughout the creation of any traditional calligraphic alphabet (with minor variations needed, depending upon the lettering style). This consistent angle gives the lettering artist the desired thick and thin strokes usually associated with broad edge calligraphy, such as Roman, Carolingian, Uncial, Italic, Gothicized Italic, Blackletter or Neuland.edition of The Speedball Textbook. |
Pointed PensFlexible Pen Points are offered in a range of widths and varying degrees of stiffness to provide artists with the maximum amount of control. Speedball's Pointed and Crow Quill nibs are ideal for drawing, sketching, lettering and cross-hatching. |
Sets to Suit All Your Drawing & Lettering Needs
Offering the ideal pairings of nibs and holders that are specifically catered to suit a range of drawing or lettering projects, Speedball Pen Sets provide a convenient and value-priced means to stock (or re-stock!) your artist toolbox.

All the materials in the package were intact, no damaged items. I have to say though, if I could knock half a star off, it would be for the packaging itself. One of the nibs went eight under a fingernail when I was trying to get them out. My hands have issues so it would be nice to see them find a better way to do that. Like maybe put all the nibs in a little plastic tube. Much safer!

So in terms of cost per nib, this is a good way to go, I get to a place that sells individual nibs once a year. This will suffice till then.

Die C Nibs lassen hier keine großartigen Spielereien mit der Strichbreite zu, was aber ok für meinen Einsatzzweck genau richtig ist. Die Nibs sitzen außerdem Fest im Halter und lassen sich gut wieder entfernen.
