fine point
Thin pen tip
A fine point is a subtle distinction or precise detail: Let's not argue over fine points.
The phrase often appears with verbs of precision—put a fine point on it means to state something exactly or bluntly.
Fine point also describes a pen or pencil tip that makes thin, precise marks: a fine point marker.
