fountain pen nibs

A fountain pen nib is the metal tip that allows ink to flow smoothly onto paper. It typically has a slit down the middle, which uses capillary action to draw ink from the reservoir. Nibs come in various sizes and shapes, affecting line width and style—ranging from fine to broad or flexible. Made from materials like gold, steel, or titanium, they are crafted to provide a consistent, elegant writing experience with minimal pressure. Properly designed nibs enable controlled ink flow, producing clean, sharp lines while reducing hand fatigue compared to traditional pens.
