    Default Hebrew Alphabet Nib?

    Total newb question here. I was reading there is a nib for writing Arabic characters and now wonder if there is yet a different special nib for writing the Hebrew alphabet?

    Thanks,

    The same nib should do. Or any stub, if held at an appropriate angle. In fact, Arabic qalam reeds are cut to a fairly conventional left foot oblique. It's a case of working out where the thick and thin strokes will be.

    Richard Binder sells nibs which he advertises as being suitable for both languages.

    "What are moon-letters?" asked the hobbit full of excitement. He loved maps, as I have told you before; and he also loved runes and letters, and cunning handwriting, though when he wrote himself it was a bit thin and spidery.
