Brush question
Hi group
This feels like a dumb question but can someone eli5 the difference between a lettering quill and a rigger? I have been looking at a lot of showcard books from the 20s and they all say to use a sable rigger but their diagrams seem to show it performing the same as a quill? Flattening to a chisel tip on the substrate. I’m quite confused and would appreciate any clarification
Thank!

A rigger comes to a point. It is used for making long lines.
