They give a thin downstroke and a thick sidestroke. Also known as Hebrew grind. Designed for sharp, straight lines, this nib works best for print style, when writing in Roman letters. The line variance is enormous. Typically, not used for cursive writing.  However, if you want to be adventurous, and love experimenting to get fun print letters, or other artistic explorations, this nib can be useful.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eTry using a consistent writing angle to reach its full effect.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eWe offer in 2 sizes – Broad (A B) and Double Broad (A BB)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eSize 6 Steel \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBroad-Stub and Double Broad-Stub\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStub: A Stub nib tipping material is ground flat on the end.

If the angle is made from top right to lower left, the nib is a Left Oblique (think of the shape of your left foot and hence also called Left-foot Oblique), and if the angle goes from top left to lower right then it’s a Right Oblique (also referred to as a right-foot oblique) nib.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLeft Obliques\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eare most comfortable for right handers. Expect the line widths to be more subtle. The rotation of the pen in the fingertips is key. If you are right-handed, rotate the grip section (and thus the nib) towards your thumb. This position keeps the flat edge of the nib properly on the paper as you write. Similarly, if you are left-handed, rotate the grip section (and thus the nib) towards your pinky finger.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen using a\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.ospreypens.mom\/products\/nib-unit-standard-right-oblique-chrome-black-insert?_pos=3\u0026amp;_sid=14142e1d7\u0026amp;_ss=r\"\u003eright oblique\u003c\/a\u003e, reverse the grip position by rotating to the right.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSize6 Steel\u003cstrong\u003e Zoom BB (Zoom Double Broad)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith a Zoom nib, line variations depend on the angle at which it is held, low angle gives thick lines, high angle (almost perpendicular to the paper) produces fine or thin lines. Good nib for sketching as it generally writes wet, especially for someone that likes medium to broad strokes. Flipping the nib to get thinner lines is always fun! From changing the angles from 15 to 45 to 90, you can get thick to medium to fine lines, which means you can almost get 3 different nib point writings with this one nib!!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp
