Leonardt Shorthand Nib Blue (HIRO 40)

Because of its large size, the Hiro 40 is dubbed as the “Blue Pumpkin” . This durable nib is suitable for writing at x-heights of 3/16” to 1/8”. The Blue Pumpkin produces fine, uniform hairlines and smooth upstrokes. Very flexible nib.

Can be used with a Speedball Oblique Penholder, Adjusted Oblique Plastic Holder with Metal Flange or the Brause Straight Holder (RM14).

The nib will have an invisible protective serum on it to keep it from rusting. Please remove this before use, by dipping the nib in soapy warm water and rubbing off the film.
