And then there are also Cursive Italics (and the harder to handle if you don't have a light hand formal 'italics')
A bit nit picky I know, but, I see a stub as being a bit too blobby/rounded at the corners, and getting a much thinner line across than the downstroke seems to make a huge difference when you start going smaller than the .9~1.1+ range).
Stub nibs like the ones Lamy offers, and most of what you can find pre-made like the Jowo #6 fittings, are going to be the easiest for most users to get used to without having to adjust their writing angle or pressure as much, compared to a Cursive Italic or Italic that offers a nicer contrast in the line variation. I personally like cursive italics with my light to medium hand, never owned a formal italic though, but I imagine I would have to go much more slowly with those.
I need to find myself a nice 0.7~0.8 cursive italic for my set.
