What are the different types of nibs available for fountain pens?

Fountain pen nibs come in various types, each offering a unique writing experience. Here are some common types of nibs available for fountain pens: 1. **Fine (F) Nib:** Produces thin, precise lines, ideal for detailed writing and small handwriting. 2. **Medium (M) Nib:** Offers a balance between fine and broad lines, suitable for everyday writing. 3. **Broad (B) Nib:** Creates bold, thick lines, perfect for signatures and expressive writing. 4. **Extra Fine (EF) Nib:** Provides the thinnest lines, great for intricate details and small text. 5. **Stub Nib:** Features a flat tip that produces broad downstrokes and thin horizontal strokes, ideal for calligraphy. 6. **Italic Nib:** Similar to a stub nib but with sharper edges, used for formal calligraphy styles. 7. **Flex Nib:** Allows for line variation based on pressure, creating expressive and dynamic writing. At Provincial Mills, we offer a wide range of nibs to suit different writing styles and preferences. Our knowledgeable staff can help you choose the perfect nib for your needs.
