What is the best nib?

The “best” nib often depends on personal style, writing pressure, and the types of documents you create. While some writers prefer fine nibs for detailed work, others opt for medium or broad nibs to create expressive strokes. Our curated selection of nibs is inspected for smooth ink flow and consistency. We test each nib for defects, optimal ink distribution, and reliability before it’s shipped. Watching our detailed inspection videos (available on our site) can help you decide which nib matches your style. Remember: the ideal nib is the one that fits your hand and writing habits best—don’t hesitate to try out a few different types.
