A bit about fountain pens :

Nib : A nib is the part of a quill, dip pen, fountain pen, ball point or stylus which comes into contact with the writing surface in order to deposit ink.

Tipping : Nib tipping is the surface area or actual portion of the fountain pen nib that makes contact with paper. It is also the portion of the nib used for writing.

Italic nib : Very good for broad edge calligraphy
