The Twin Nib features three tines for increased ink flow; a slight recess in the central tine produces wide and narrow parallel lines with each stroke to create lovely scrollwork or shadow writing. Shadow writing is achieved with a broad line that is 'shadowed' by a much finer line, giving italic letters an interesting depth. The twin nib is great to use for journaling, invitations, greeting cards or anywhere you want to add some distinctive writing style. The stainless-steel nib with iridium tip is made for Kaweco by the highly regarded Bock company in Heidelberg, Germany.
