felt-tipped pen

Soft-nosed writing tool

A felt-tipped pen has a writing point made of pressed fibers rather than a metal nib or ballpoint.

The porous tip draws ink from an internal reservoir, producing lines that vary from fine to broad depending on the marker's design.

Felt-tipped pens range from fine-point writing instruments to thick permanent markers: She circled the errors with a red felt-tipped pen.
