marker pen

Thick ink stick

A marker pen is a writing instrument with a porous tip that dispenses ink from an internal reservoir.

The term is more common in British English; Americans typically say marker or felt-tip pen.

Marker pens range from fine-tipped varieties for precise work to broad chisel tips for highlighting: She labeled the boxes with a marker pen.
