Flex Nib
A Flex nib is a type of fountain pen nib that can create different line widths. Due to its non-rigid structure, a flex nib allows a writer to control line width by adjusting the pressure of the pen on paper. Increased pressure will cause the two tines of the nib to separate slightly, allowing more ink to flow onto the page. A lighter grip will allow the tines to remain close together and produce a thinner line.
The Flex nib from Kanwrite provides a two step variation in terms of line width. An Extra Fine Flex nib provides line variation from EF-F-M.
Ideal for Calligraphy & Cursive writing.
Stub
A nib with tipping material that’s ground flat on the end. Produces a narrow line on the cross stroke & broad on the down stroke. Mimics calligraphy, different than flex nibs, which require pressure to change the line width.
Architect
An architect nib is the opposite of a stub nib. The Kanwrite architect nib is designed around a simple concept: it’s a fountain pen nib that is wide when working on the horizontal and narrow on the vertical. This means sideways strokes are thick and downward strokes are thin.
Oblique
An oblique tip is cut at an angle, which is usually about 15 degrees, normally from top right to lower left. This is called a left oblique. When the angle is from the top left to the lower right it is called a right oblique.
The oblique’s line-width variation is more subtle than the distinct broad down-stroke and narrow cross-stroke achieved with an italic or stub. The broadest stroke for an oblique is on the diagonal, giving your penmanship an understated character.
