Description
The Oblique Modern Calligraphy Set from Manuscript has everything you need for a stab at modern calligraphy, but with a nod at the traditional. There's a dip pen barrel - in black: very traditional - but it is equipped with a angled slot in which to position the nib, to achieve the required position for modern calligraphy. There are three different pointed Leonardt nibs: also very traditional, and a bottle of black calligraphy ink.
Contents:
- Black oblique pen holder
- 3 calligraphy nibs
- 5ml bottle of black calligraphy ink
- Storage tin

Underwhelming Product for a Starter Kit
Think "movie" as my analogy to your overall calligraphy experience. In this product, I was expecting a "movie trailer", but what I got was a "teaser trailer".
This product has everything you need to begin your calligraphy journey/experience - it really is a way to get a stab at modern calligraphy. However, I suggest you either purchase additional ink, or buy it at a discount. Thus, why I felt this product was a bit underwhelming.
Calligraphy takes time and patience to learn and really pick up on it. So to get the most out of this product, you must to understand the various tools used and the purposes of different nibs.
When it comes to quality, each piece is cheap but that is expected; and also this kit comes with an OBLIQUE Calligraphy Pen, which helps you learn to control your pressure and angle of writing.

Great starter kit
The tips are really nice and I enjoy the feel. Love that it comes in a small metal tin for storage.

Nice starter set
Nice starter set, and a good value with a coupon. Three popular nibs for Modern/Copperplate script are included for a variety of line widths, and the storage tin keeps things tidy. The smallest nib seems a little scratchy but may improve with practice or use. The black ink is a decent quality and a good size to take on the road.

Junk, overpriced
I bought this in-store today as I wanted to try out an oblique pen holder, but didn't want to spend too much for a trial. Selection was sparse. On the surface, this set appears to be a good value. The nibs seem to be of decent quality, but the oblique metal is very soft & nicks easily. The smallest nib size EF has a smaller curve than the oblique holder & does not fit it nor the plastic holder. I finally pulled the oblique holder out & gently pried it open to insert the EF nib, but still unable to insert in plastic holder without the oblique. I can see this being next to impossible for a beginner. I don't expect the oblique or holder to last. The small ink bottle is nice, but the opening is not large enough to accommodate or adequately dip the nibs attached to the oblique full, much less when the ink level drops. You have to tilt the bottle to properly dip the nib, which is an ink disaster waiting to happen. I'm 1.5 hrs away from this store, so making a trip just to return this item is a waste. I don't recommend this set & am not at all happy with it. I should have spent a little more for Speedball.

Super starter set
The set includes quality nibs by leonardt. The Oblique pen and nibs line up like they should. While the ink quantitiy is small it was just right. While I am a beginner this set got me off and running. I would recomend it highly.

Poor quality
The nibs were flimsy, and the ink was extremely runny. Buyer beware!
