Size 3 nibs are our smallest nibs measuring 7.5mm wide, and are standard in the smaller Onoto pens including Emma Hamilton, Royal Ballet Aspiration, Excel, Burlington, Heritage Plunger-filler and Overlay No 1 pens.

Available in:

  • Fine produces approximately a 0.3mm – 0.4mm wide line of ink
  • Medium produces approximately a 0.5mm – 0.65mm wide line of ink
  • Broad produces approximately a 0.7mm – 0.9mm wide line of ink

The thickness of the line depends on the pressure exerted on the pen, and the type of paper. As a rule, a broad nib suits large handwriting and flowing signatures, fine nibs suit smaller handwriting and figure work. Broad nibs can tend to fill in the spaces in “b”, “d”, “e”, “6” etc if your handwriting is small. A medium nib is a good compromise, and selected by the majority of fountain pen users.
