An architect grind is a stub turned ninety degrees: the tip is ground flat along the direction of the down-stroke, so verticals come out broad and horizontals come out fine. It is the opposite of what a stub does and it suits upright, angular, print-style handwriting in a way nothing else does. Architects wrote this way on drawings, which is where the name comes from.
It is the most difficult grind we offer and the only one cut entirely by hand, because the flat has to be set to the individual writer’s pen angle or it will not sit on the paper. We cut it at a nominal 48 degrees, which suits most hands; tell us at checkout if yours is unusually upright or flat and we will adjust.
Down-stroke 0.95 mm, cross-stroke 0.30 mm. There is no machine step in this one and no two are identical. Allow ten days. Written-tested; the card shows your actual nib.
