Nib MEDIUM CURSIVE ITALIC 14k Feather Touch #5 nib is two-toned, fairly firm, and smooth with nice tipping material. The palladium masking is good. Expect nice line variation. It was ground in house here at PSP and is similar to our JoWo #6 medium cursive italic grind in terms of line width and variation.
