It will write a painfully fine line. In days gone by, they sometimes
called them accounting nibs because they wrote fine enough to put
lots of numbers in little boxes. The standard fine nib won't actually
write that thin a line, though it must be said that one company's
fine is another's medium, etc. Pelikans, for example, particularly
the vintage pens, typically write much wetter than, say, the typical
Parker. And the nibs for pens sold in Europe and Asia tended to have
more flex, whereas those earmarked for the U.S. were less flexible.
Gee, is there some kind of "cultural tell" there? <g>
