MK = Medium Kugelspitze
which means, well, medium of course. But it has a "bullet shaped" tip which enables the writer to hold the pen at almost any angle without scratching or skipping. Good for lefties, righties and converted lefties (like me...) to prevent cramping of the hand. Don't like it anyway, I prefer the more sophisticated typeface of an oblique nib and accept cramping of my hand (...its all lack of practice, isn't it?).
