Carbon ink Black by Platinum

First of all, we need to distinguish between Japanese nibs and European/American nibs. For the same line thickness given by the manufacturers (F for example), Japanese nibs will be thinner than European/American nibs. So an F (fine) nib from Sailor (Japanese nib) will correspond to an EF (extra-fine) nib. Jowo (German nib).

Stub nib: a nib with a point that is wider than it is tall, enabling you to make thick vertical strokes and fine horizontal strokes, more commonly known as full and loose strokes. IT (Italic): has the same characteristics as the Stub, but with a flat tip. Z (Zoom): a nib with a broad point that allows the width of the line to be varied 

MS (Music): Stub nib with two slots (except for Sailor), the parts of the tip of which open out sharply depending on the pressure applied to allow a greater flow of ink. This increases the fluidity of the writing and makes it more humid. In addition to its extreme flexibility, the vertical strokes are thicker than the horizontal ones. Making it an ideal nib for calligraphy.
