Fountain pen · Cursive italic 1.5 mm
Reed
A 1.5 mm cursive italic. Pull down and the line is full width. Move across and it thins to a hair. Your handwriting gets an edge without trying.
How it writes
The Reed nib is ground flat, like the cut end of a reed pen. Hold it at the angle it wants and every letter gets thick stems and thin joins on its own.
The corners are softened just enough that the nib never catches on the paper. That is what “cursive italic” means: crisp enough to show, forgiving enough to write a whole page with.
Wide nibs show ink. Moss shades from pale green to near black inside a single stroke; Ember’s gold catches the light along every down-stroke.

Care
Wide nibs use ink fast and dry out slower: wipe the nib before you cap it. Flush when you change colour.
