Works very well on my Joy with J. Herbin Perle Noire ink. It's more challenging to use than a round nib, but the appearance is very cool. I want to try the 1.9mm now!

Wow! I never thought calligraphy nib could be this fun! I put it on Lamy vista and it writes fantastically! I always thought I will not like think lined nibs but I am really enjoying it..thanks to this cheaper way to improve my handwriting. Highly recommended!!

I even use it on Moleskine, which I never thought could take anything other than extra fine nib! My secret is however Lamy blue ink, which never bleeds or feathers on moleskine pages even with this stub nib! I have tried so many inks with so many pens all bleed etc...this combination, however, works well.

*** My Fave!! ***
I was enjoying my Lamy Joy with it's 1.1 nib so much at my desk, but I wanted a shorter body style that would be easier to carry with me. The clear Lamy Vista is so cool looking and easier to carry, but I don't want a plain fountain pen nib. So I bought this 1.1 nib, plus a new Vista- Viola! My perfect, don't-go-anywhere-without-it pen! The nib that comes on your Lamy will slide off (with some firm persuasion), and this nib will slide right up in place. I bought a 1.9 as well, for lettering some large projects. The 1.1 makes your everyday handwriting look so great, and you can write fast with it. My favorite ink is Noodlers bulletproof Polar Blue. I was just at a meeting where we all submitted short written reports. The moderator actually held up my paper and said to the group 'Look at this great handwriting!' I should have said, 'It's not me- it's the pen!' How funny, because I had just created my perfect pen with this nib! :)

if you like broad nibs this one will fit perfectly, it gives to a daily writing a very good look

Not bad for everyday use.

Smooth writer, makes my cursive handwriting look better! :) Glad I bought this.

The line variation on the paper alone automatically replaces my F and EF nibs for my pen!

A nice italic nib, with the advantage of being completely modular with the Lamy Al-Star/Safari/Joy series. I like being able to trade between this and my workhorse F writing nib on the go - no mess, no worries. One thing to note is that this nib was quite dry for me. Maybe just due to the width?

Wonderful! I didn't expect this to be so smooth right off the bat, but I was pleasantly surprised. Immediately lays down a consistent and slightly wet line of ink (as most Lamy nibs do) and adds interesting line variation to your writing and drawing. I think I may have to get the 1.5mm after trying this one!

Seriously too bad that they don't have another size down from this. Still great to have one around, since Lamy nibs are so available & so easy to change to suit an ink or technique. I have an F, EF & 1.1, all for one Al-Star body.
