The Brause 361 nib (aka "the blue pumpkin") is a medium type of nib -- some flex but not a lot and can be used with a lot of pressure to get dynamic contrast or used with a lighter hand and obtain less contrast and fine hairlines.

I also like using this nib for print-style lettering -- I think the thick & thins look nice.

Have fun experimenting with this nib!
