The B-Series nib made its debut in the 2nd edition of The Speedball Textbook®, in 1916.  Like the A-Series, the B-Series has a bent end to form a “shoe” that can easily produce a uniform width line.  Unlike its counterpart, the Speedball B-Series nib has a rounded finish that makes it ideal for creating sans serif letters without thick and thin lines.  

Available in (8) nib widths, the B-Series is perfect for creating a variety of monoline lettering, drawn letters (e.g. Versals) and “built-up” letters, such as the Double Stroke Poster Roman. "B" style pen nibs are ideal for forming Roman gothic alphabets, uniform line drawings, borders and display posters. Suitable for use with any straight/classic style penholder.
