    Default Visconti nibs any options ?

    Does Visconti offers "specialty nibs" or options other than the standard F M B AND BB ?

    such as : stub, italic, flex etc....

    They do nice stubs. I haven't seen any italic or flex. The palladium nibs are soft feeling but would not call it flex at all. Their nibs are all pretty fat, even the fine is not super fine, and the BB is HUGE and no real line variation.

    Their 1.3mm stub has been mentioned, as well their palladium nibs could be considered "soft", but that's it. Incidentally they offer an EF also. For anything else you will have to seek out a nibmeister.

    On my side I ordered a stub for my Visconti Opera Crystal.

    I've only used these, but this is exactly my experience. I would add, super wet writing. I think you get a nice bounciness and a really large line for the nib size. They are fun.

    The 1.3mm stub is very stubbish. It has good line variation and is exceptionally smooth. The stub on the Opera Crystal (the one with the tubular nib) is more italic than stub in that it produces a much thinner horizontal stroke, at least in my experience.
