What size is a fine nib?
What size is a fine nib?
Common nib sizes F (fine). A nib that will give a line width of around 0.6mm. Suitable for those with small writing.
Are fine nib scratchy?
Generally, the finer the nib, the scratchier it will be. Most fountain pens ship out with regular round nibs, which are generally very smooth, especially if you get a brand that’s known for its smooth nibs like Parker or Moonman (those are my experience). Nibs sized Fine (F), and Extra Fine (EF) are generally scratchy.
What is the difference between fine and extra fine nib?
Extra Fine (EF / XF / X) has the thinnest writing line. Fine (F) has a thin writing line. This size of the width is approximately 0.2mm finer than the medium nib width of the same brand. Fine is especially suitable for people with small handwriting.
How do I know what size nib?
As a rule of thumb, most are usually between a 0.5mm and a 0.7mm line, with the Eastern (Japanese) nibs being on the finer end and the Western (Italian, & German) nibs being on the thicker end. Going with a fine point is still better suited for smaller, more deliberate handwriting styles.
Which is better fine nib or medium nib?
Fine is especially suitable for people with small handwriting. Medium (M) is the most popular nib width. Although this does vary this is usually around 0.6mm in width. This is also the standard nib width on most brands.
