{"product_id":"speedball-no-5-artist-pen-set","title":"No. 5 Artist Pen Set","description":"\u003cp\u003eSpeedball's No. 5 set assembles nine essential nibs that cover fundamentally different mark-making approaches. Three flat C-style nibs (C0, C2, C4) create the crisp thick-thin strokes foundational to formal calligraphy and lettering. Three round B-style nibs (B1, B3, B5) deliver consistent line weight for cartooning, technical drawing, and decorative work. Three flexible nibs, the hairline 102 Crow Quill, versatile 56, and extra-fine 513EF, respond to pressure for expressive sketching and illustration details.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTwo pen holders accommodate the different nib styles, letting you switch between approaches without constantly swapping components. This range matters because different techniques demand different tools: poster lettering requires broad, flat strokes; mapping needs steady precision; sketching benefits from pressure-responsive flexibility. Rather than committing to a single nib style before understanding your preferences, you get genuine variety to explore which tools suit your hand and projects.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe set provides enough diversity to handle multiple disciplines while remaining focused on proven, reliable nib designs. Whether developing calligraphy skills, adding expressive line work to illustrations, or experimenting across techniques, you have the fundamental tools to discover what works.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Speedball","offers":[{"title":"9 assorted","offer_id":47973828296933,"sku":"49389","price":15.79,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0726\/6890\/5701\/files\/s49389.jpg?v=1761726109","url":"https:\/\/www.texasart.mom\/products\/speedball-no-5-artist-pen-set","provider":"Texas Art Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
