Manufactured to vary in levels of flexibility, pointed pen nibs are designed with a small slit between two tines that spread, flex and snap to a greater or lesser degree, depending on the nib’s construction and the amount of pressure applied by the artist. Often utilised for scripts possessing large flourishing or illustrations that require intense levels of detail, Pointed Pens can be classified into three distinct segments, “Pointed,” “Crow Quill” and “Bowl-Pointed.”
