Without knowing the brand and model, it is really hard for me to deduce what you should be using. (if you could reply and clarify that would be great). However, I will do my best to answer anyways. If you are using pointed pen nibs, you can use any nib for any Pointed Pen Style (BLUE above). The only difference is the flexibility (which determines difficulty of use and letter size), and size of ink reservoir (how long to write).

If you are using a broad edge nib (RED above) you can use all styles, but the size of your strokes will be bigger or smaller depending on the nib length.

Hope this helps, or you can reply and let me know what nibs you have. email richard@calligrascape.com with nib pictures and I can help you out too.

Thanks,
Richard

Hello,
I have purchased a calligraphy pen and ink off a well known site. There is a feathered pen with a nib already fitted and 5 other nibs numbered 1 to 5.
I have received a number of emails from yourself which I enjoy but there is nothing regarding which size nib to use for which style.
(Or I have not seen it)
Could you help me please regarding which nib, which style, or is there a better way to chose which nib for which style.
Thanks
Alan
