nib
Quill's writing tip
A nib is the pointed tip of a pen—the part that touches paper and delivers ink.
Fountain pens have metal nibs; dip pens have replaceable ones.
Nib width affects line thickness: a fine nib for detail work, a broad nib for calligraphy.
By extension, any pointed tip may be called a nib.
