Square pointed nibs
Rectangular pointed nibs, which have been invented by the German Calligrapher Karlgeorg Hoefer, create a very special stroke. A description (in German language) can be found here. Unfortunately these nibs are no longer manufactured and are very rare to be found. The square pointed nibs which are manufactured in the US (Speedball A-Series) are not as interesting, but are still worth trying them out.
