Field notes
The sheet treats broad-edge lettering as a matter of controlling the pen’s edge: it recommends ruling 30° guide lines and rotating the paper rather than twisting the hand. It also distinguishes broad-edge from pointed flexible nibs, explaining that the former changes stroke width with direction while the latter uses tine pressure. Its materials advice includes non-waterproof ink and smooth, well-sized paper of at least 100 gsm.
