Nib is the dedicated practice journal for calligraphers who take their craft seriously. Whether you practice Copperplate, Spencerian, Gothic, Italic, or Brush Lettering, Nib gives you a structured way to log every session, track your progress, and build the consistent practice habit that separates hobbyists from true penmen. LOG YOUR PRACTICE Record every session in seconds. Capture your script, practice type, duration, and specific focus. Add reflection notes - what went well, what needs work - so each session teaches you something. BUILD YOUR STREAK A 14-day activity strip shows exactly when you picked up the pen. Watch your streak grow as daily practice becomes a ritual. Your stats surface automatically: total hours, sessions this month, primary script. MANAGE YOUR TOOLS Your nib collection, inks, and papers - all in one place. Log what you used, so you always remember which combination produced your best work. TODAY'S FOCUS Every day brings a new practice prompt - a specific drill, letterform, or technique to sharpen your eye. From compound curves to oval drills to pressure transitions: focused practice that builds real skill. REFLECT AND IMPROVE The session log is more than a diary. It is your progression record. Search back through your work. See how your notes evolved from "ovals inconsistent" to "ovals consistent at 52 degrees." That progress is the whole point.
