Cursive Italic B Fountain Pen Nib

A specialized nib that is designed to produce line variations in handwriting. Made exclusively for our fountain pens, all of my nibs are tipped with incredibly hard-wearing iridium for super smooth writing, and are plated in a 14k gold for a classically stunning look. As a bonus all nibs can be interchanged so you can easily write in different styles whenever it suits you.

Cursive Italic Fountain Pen Nib -  is a specialized nib that is designed to produce line variations in handwriting. It is a type of italic nib that has a smooth, rounded tip that is slightly flattened on the sides. This flattening creates two distinct writing surfaces: a broader downstroke (1mm(+-0.1)) and a thinner horizontal stroke (hairline - 0.2 mm). The term "cursive" refers to the flowing nature of the script that is produced by this type of nib. The BB designation stands for "double broad," indicating that the nib produces a broad line that is twice as wide as a standard broad nib. With practice the cursive italic nib can produce stunning handwriting that is both distinctive and elegant.

Love it

Would buy again. Surprisingly pretty all purpose. I use it in my bullet journal/planner. I can make headings and entries with one nib.

Insanely great nib.

I have a very large collection of fountainpens including all great brands and a large variation of nibs, but this nib is by far the best nib I have ever used. It is the Stradivarius amongst fountain pen nibs. A true masterpiece I recommend everyone!!

Exactly what I wanted

I press exceedingly hard when I am writing but am only interested in the finest of lines. This nib delivers. It is also amazingly good at being flexible when I am playing with what’s written on the paper

Great Nib with Good Line Variation.

I purchased this nib in broad as I like bold writing. It’s works well and looks great.
