Brause is one of the world's most established brands in calligraphy supplies, operating since 1850 in Iserlohn, Germany—a city renowned for its steel craftsmanship. The region's high-quality steel and tradition of master craftsmanship form the foundation of the nib quality that is still considered a benchmark today.

The brand's most distinct difference lies in the durability of its cold-rolled steel nibs and their consistent line control. The Bandzug series of broad-edge nibs offer uninterrupted writing thanks to the ink reservoir on top; this structure, which is sensitive to the grip angle rather than pressure, provides an easy learning curve for beginners and a tool that retains its form for years for experienced calligraphers.

The collection includes Bandzug broad-edge nibs in various widths from 0.5 mm to 4 mm, soft/hard/tubular mapping and correction nibs, special-purpose nibs such as Noterfedern for music notation and Zeichenfedern for decorative writing, as well as pen holders with cork and wood handles and nib+holder sets in metal tins. This wide range is preferred for classic calligraphy styles such as Gothic, Italic, Roman, Uncial, and Carolingian, as well as for illumination and traditional Turkish calligraphy (hat) work.

As one of the authorized dealers of Brause in Turkey, Karin Sanat stocks the brand's complete calligraphy product range. All products are sourced through official distributor channels with an original product guarantee and are available at our Fatih and Nişantaşı stores as well as through karinsanat.com.
