Knowing the characteristics of nibs is of paramount importance for practicing calligraphy in various styles.

The shape of calligraphy nibs derives from the way quill pens were anciently worked.

Two cuts still characterize its structure today, a vertical one to allow for ink reserve and a horizontal one that determines the shape of the tip.

The squaring of the calligraphic nib is of paramount importance because it is what gives very different characteristics to the writing strokes.

Truncated-tip calligraphy nibs are used for many types of writing particularly Gothic calligraphy.

Flexible-tip calligraphy nibs are used especially for English writing and depending on the pressure you apply to the nib the wider the stroke.

When first used, the calligraphy nib needs to be heated with a flame to remove the protective varnish.

Handwriting is considered a true art form.
