Broad-edge Nib Techniques

Broad-edge nib techniques involve using a calligraphy pen with a flat, wide nib that creates varying line widths based on the angle and pressure applied. By adjusting the tilt and stroke direction, artists produce expressive strokes with thick and thin lines, adding depth and style to their lettering. This method allows for elegant, decorative writing and is fundamental in styles like Gothic or Copperplate calligraphy. Mastery of broad-edge techniques requires control over angle and pressure to achieve consistent, aesthetically pleasing results.
