broad tip

Fat marker end

A broad tip is the wider, flatter end of a writing or drawing instrument, as opposed to a fine point.

Markers, highlighters, and calligraphy pens with broad tips create thick strokes and are suited for filling large areas or making bold lines: Use the broad tip for coloring in the background.
