I have written about this in the past, but thought it would be good to revisit this topic.

When I started out buying specific pens I used to get the broadest possible gel ink pens I could find. Then I did the same with fountain pens. When I got into that.

What I loved was the feeling of a super smooth writing experience putting down a thick line of ink as I wrote.

It is still the experience I enjoy the most.

But these days I use everything from extra fine to broad and sub nibs.

What I have found is that more scratchy nibs makes it easier to control what I write.

So it all depends on the situation.
