What Is Zoom Nib?
The King Eagle and the Cobra
The King Eagle and King Cobrare both specialty nibs that can put down as much ink as a marker pen. The Naginata sword nibs are similar to the Zoom but with greater refinement. The cross stroke becomes bolder at lower angles, while the downstroke remains consistent at any angle.
The broad line
The line is broad if you hold the pen at angle of 45 degrees. The line becomes fine at a 90 degree angle.
Zooms
A zoom is a scuplture with a tip. It produces a thick stroke when held at a low angle. The standard stroke is broad and small. Writing on ruled paper is not suitable for lines that are thick.
Fountain Pens
A fountain pen is like a car and its tires, it only writes with the same pen and pen style. The first thing that should be considered when choosing a fountain pen is the nib, which is the part that determines how a fountain pen will write. Let's look at how a fountain pen works and what you should consider when selecting one.
The major Western and Japanese fountain pen brands are listed below. Some brands like Ohto and TWSBI are considered Western even though they are located in Asia because they use European manufacturers that use Western sizing. Finer nibs tend to have a more controlled flow, which makes them more tolerant of different qualities of paper.
Finer nibs are not as smooth as broader ones, and Japanese EFs can dig into the paper if too much pressure is used. Some firm nibs, like Lamy's steel nibs, offer almost no line variation and are sometimes referred to as "nails." It is important to remember that steel and gold nibs are not designed for use as flex pens, and that other steel and gold nibs can provide a modest amount of line variation when pressed.
It can cause serious damage to a nib. Semi-flex nibs are fun to use and add character to your writing, but they also require practice and concentration to use well. A firm nib is a better choice for a daily writer.
Nib material is not as important as it used to be when choosing a fountain pen. Most fountain pens have a gold or a steel nib. The color of a nib does not mean it is made from gold or steel.
Calligraphy Pens
The group of calligraphy nibs give line variation, through the writing angle or through the amount of pressure you apply. Representing calligraphy are flex, oblique, and stub nibs. When people talk about calligraphy nibs, they mean the interchangeable nibs of calligraphy dip pens, which are flex nibs that can be used with calligraphy ink.
Don't put calligraphy ink in your fountain pen, it will ruin your feed. What is the difference between a pen and a pen? The maximum amount of line-width variation is provided by the broad and flat tip of an italic nib.
It is the most sensitive type of pen available. A true italic nib can cut paper sideways. The broad and italic nibs are all members of the cursive nib.
The italic is very broad and flat, which results in a sharp edge. They are stiff and hard to write with. They use a lot of ink and need a feed that is able to keep up, but they are a joy to write with and give some amazing line variation.
They have a straight surface that provides high shading. Stub nibs are great for people with larger handwriting who like to have something more decorative.
The shape of the nib
The style of writing will be affected by the shape of the nib. Shapes come in either round or square. Round shaped tips can vary in size with wider tips.
The round shaped nibs are best for everyday use. An oblique nib is a new nib tip shape. The round and square shaped nibs have the same length tines.
Preferences of the User
Knowing your own preferences is one option. Do you write letters that are close together? A fine nib is likely to work best for you. A broad nib might better for you if you like to write bigger and spread things out.
