When you want some line variation, it goes from a fine point to a wider line as shown with medium to heavier pressure, it will provide excellent line variation & expression. The nib can also make incredible hairlines upside down.. Great for doodling , sketching , or every day fine point note taking and/or expressive letter writing :- copperplate / Spencerian :.
