brush tip
Where bristles end
Brush tip describes a flexible, tapered point on a pen or marker that mimics the behavior of a traditional paintbrush.
Unlike rigid felt tips, brush tips respond to pressure—light strokes produce thin lines, heavier pressure yields thick ones.
Popular for calligraphy, lettering, and illustration: I prefer brush tip markers for hand-lettering.
