	AAAndrew's [https://thesteelpen.com/category/pen-types/ Steel Pen blog] describes the engrossing-style nib ~~like this~~: "Italic or engrossing stubs differ from their rapid-writing cousins by the sharpness of their corners. The corner of the tip, affects both the smoothness of the writing, and the crispness of the line. For decorative writing, “engrossing” in the older terminology, you need a sharper corner to make a clean and thin line."

A Spencerian [https://in.pinterest.com/pin/346706871291054636/ sample card] includes the #9 Bank Pen among 26 samples. It is included in the section of the card for Fine Pointed nibs.
