fine tip

Pen's delicate end

Fine tip describes a writing or drawing instrument with a very narrow point, producing thin, precise lines.

Pens, markers, and brushes come in fine tip varieties for detailed work: I prefer fine tip pens for note-taking.

The term distinguishes from medium or broad tips, which lay down thicker strokes.
