Founded in 1850, Brause manufactures steel nibs for writing, drawing and calligraphy. Brause nibs can be found in the toolbox of many calligraphers, lettering artists, penmen and illustrators and are considered to be among the best on the market.

The Brause B50 is a nickle-plated pan nib with a wide point (0.45mm) that is great for monoline lettering. Reinforced elasticity allows this nib to last longer and hold up under pressure. Capable of some line variation, but not recommended for pointed pen hands such as Copperplate and Spencerian.
