What is nib?

Nib is a component of a pen that comes into contact with the writing surface and transfers ink onto it. It is typically made of metals such as steel, gold, or titanium, and can be either rigid or flexible depending on the type of pen. Nibs come in various shapes and sizes, and their characteristics determine the pen's writing style, such as thickness, flow, and line variation. Nibs can be replaced or interchanged in some pens, allowing for customization and experimentation with different writing experiences. Proper care and maintenance of nibs are crucial to keep the pen functioning and provide a consistent writing experience.
