nibs

Nibs are the small, metal tips of a fountain pen's nib assembly that come into contact with ink and paper. They are usually made of steel or gold and are shaped to control ink flow and line quality during writing. The nib's design, including its shape and flexibility, influences the writing style and line variation. In essence, the nib is the essential part that delivers ink smoothly onto paper, enabling precise and expressive handwriting with a fountain pen.
