Aurora's B nibs write broadly, saturatedly and in character similarly to those of Pelikan; they are suitable for a vigorous but well-controllable line. The BB nibs come out very sharply ground and yield a clearly more calligraphic, more strongly varying stroke that presupposes precise guidance of the nib. Anyone coming from OMAS B nibs and seeking a comparable saturated ink flow at everyday-suitable writing position is generally better served with the Aurora B nib than with BB. A BB is rather intended for stylistically pronounced writing.
