A first fountain pen
Four steps to your first page
Choose a nib
Fine if you write small, medium if you do not know.
Fill it
Push in a cartridge, or fill a converter from a bottle.
Hold it lightly
Let the weight of the pen do the work.
Write every day
A pen used daily rarely dries out.

| Extra fine | About 0.3 mm | Small writing and planners |
| Fine | About 0.4 mm | Most handwriting and journals |
| Medium | About 0.6 mm | Letters and signatures |
