Tom's Studio Fountain Pen Nib - Cursive Italic BB

This Cursive Italic nib with a feed is designed for Tom's Studio fountain pens. Cursive Italic 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 hairline stroke (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.

Tom's Studio nibs are tipped with incredibly hard-wearing iridium for super smooth writing, and are plated in a 14k gold for a classically stunning look. As a bonus all nibs can be interchanged so you can easily write in different styles whenever it suits you.

If you notice any ink flow issues it's worth giving your pen a good flush using warm soapy water, or even better, distilled water or fountain pen cleaner and then rinsing thoroughly.

To replace the nib, simply unscrew the nib together with the plastic feed and screw in a new one.
