New subscriber! With stub/calligraphy nibs, you need to keep both tines on the paper, so no, you can’t write on the corner of the nib. You can change the angle of the nib to achieve the line widths you want, as long as both tines are on the paper. What you might want for what you are trying to do is a flex nib. With flex nibs, you get the change in line width by applying more or less pressure. You don’t want to apply too much pressure, and you need to go slower. They take a lot of practice. The capping mechanism on this pen is interesting. I’m tempted to get one. Thanks for the video!
@@pensane with lots of practice with all sorts of pens the only one I know of is the Pilot pens, they can create lines from the corner. But are they classed as nibs? I’m saying yes. Thanks for the comment and great advice I really appreciate your input.
