Tom’s Studio Fountain Pen Nib – Cursive Italic

Description

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.
