Thanks for all the flattering comments.

Panfer, here's your requested close-up. At this resolution, you can see that I've taken some shortcuts [img]/infopop/emoticons/icon_redface.gif[/img] — The real pen has much more intricate engraving on the nib.

Very nice picture.
Before personal computer era I spent a lot of time to draw letters by special nibs with Indian ink and gouache on a various signs , diagrams , information boards, greetings and so on. The letters were much bigger then ones for handwriting message.
