Writing small = smooth, neat & fast

I find the when I write deliberately smaller that I have more control over my pen, hence I write more clearly and I can write faster too.

I notice especially when writing with an oblique nib where the angle is critical for a smooth flowing stroke, that writing small makes it easier to maintain the correct angle and hence a smoother contact between the tip of the nib and the paper.

I agree with you. I ususally use a fine point but my writing is neater when it's smaller as well.

I am typically a oblique man, but have recently rediscovered the value of fine and extra fine nibs. The ink dries faster which means that you can write on even non-fountain pen friendly paper. I agree also with the deliberate writing.

I have a Montblanc with a fine nib that I had nibmeistered into a fine italic which gives me the best of both worlds.

Good post guys!
