brush pen
Flexible tip tool
A brush pen is a writing instrument with a flexible tip that mimics the behavior of a traditional paintbrush while holding ink in a reservoir like a regular pen.
The tip—made of bristles or felt—responds to pressure, producing strokes that vary from thin to thick: Calligraphers love brush pens for their expressive line quality.
Popular for hand lettering, illustration, and manga artwork.
