The split pen lets you take any broad-pen alphabet into a new dimension. Here you see the simplest style that every calligrapher learns, take on a new life as Split Italic. I like to fill a few words with two colors of ink such as lime and aqua, or red and orange.

I like this a lot! I haven't done much work with split-nibs but this makes me want to try.
