The tip of this pen writes well and consistently in all directions. Inspection of this tip reveals no sharp corners or edges. The inner margins of this point, where the slit separates the two halves, are rounded and regular in shape. The kind of pen point that a lefty chooses is important to their comfort in writing. Because it is well rounded, especially on the leading edges, not excessively fine, not flexible and not too wet, it serves as a model for the ideal southpaw point.
Fountain pens are an excellent choice for portsiders.
They force care in forming the letters when writing. There are, however, good choices for pen points and bad. The best are rounded evenly especially to the top of the point and are medium size, not too fine and not too large and wet. The worst are the needlepoints, the italics, and the flexible tips. But, of course, with left-handers, there will always be exceptions.
