Most fountain pens have tips resembling a rounded “blob”. They are normally smooth and  allow quick strokes but the lines you make when you write, look much like that of a ball point.

My Elegant Butter Line Stub ~ Italic modification sculpts your rounded “blob” tip into a cursive Italic tip without the sharp corners, allowing you to write normally with exquisite results!

The horizontal side strokes are lacey and thin while the vertical down strokes are more lush and wider. The broader the tip, the more variation the lines will have. This line variation adds a thrill to your every-day writing! ...An attractive elegance that makes handwriting wonderfully fun!

Down with the “blob”!

And that’s the thick and the thin of it from Pendleton’s Pens...
