The best fountain pen tip for beginners is probably a size Medium tip, but you may also use a broad nib size Broad if all you want to do is sign documents with your fountain pen. Extra Fine is perfect for adding notes to calendars, and Fine is suited for small, filigree handwriting. The Medium nib size is typically appropriate for any style of handwriting, and the Broad nib produces a distinctive and eye-catching typeface.
