## Long description

The Astra Artea Calligraphy Set with 5 Nibs and Holder RA18AST is a compact kit designed for practicing and creating calligraphic lettering. The set includes five interchangeable metal nibs of varying widths and a compatible nib holder, suitable for use with dip inks, fountain ink and pigment-based inks. The components are intended to help users learn nib control, develop consistent script styles and explore line variation in handwriting and decorative lettering.
Advantages
The kit provides a selection of metal nibs that allow gradual progression from thinner to broader strokes, supporting both fine detail and expressive line work. The compatible holder secures nibs firmly while remaining lightweight for comfortable use during extended practice sessions. Because the nibs are interchangeable, the set is versatile for experimenting with different scripts and ink types without needing multiple full pens.
Suitable for
 Beginners learning basic calligraphy and nib handling
 Hobbyists practicing modern and traditional script styles
 Artists creating line variation and decorative lettering
 Users working with dip inks, fountain inks or pigment inks
Key specifications
 Contents: five metal nibs and one compatible nib holder
 Nib types: assortment of widths for thin to broad strokes
 Compatibility: suitable for dip inks, fountain ink and pigment inks
 Holder: lightweight, ergonomic design for hand comfort
 Intended use: practice, learning nib control and decorative lettering
How to use
Insert the chosen metal nib into the holder until it seats securely. Dip the nib briefly into your ink of choice, removing excess by touching the nib gently to the ink bottle rim or blotting on scrap paper. Hold the pen at a consistent angle and apply varied pressure to produce thin and thick strokes according to the script style. Clean nibs after use by rinsing with water (or appropriate solvent for pigment inks) and drying thoroughly to prevent corrosion and clogging.
Usage recommendations
Start with the finer nibs to learn basic strokes and progress to broader nibs for expressive lettering. Use smooth, good-quality paper to reduce feathering and ink bleed. Store nibs dry and protected to maintain their condition and check compatibility of cleaning solvents with nib material.
