Broad-edged pen

A broad-edged pen is a writing instrument with a thick, flat nib or tip that produces varied line widths depending on the angle and pressure applied. Commonly used in calligraphy and decorative lettering, it allows for thick strokes with one edge and thin lines with the other, creating elegant and expressive letterforms. The design enables artists to achieve dynamic, flowing lettering styles, highlighting contrast and rhythm within their work. Broad-edged pens can be traditional dip pens, fountain pens, or markers specifically designed for calligraphy, and they are valued for their ability to produce visually striking, expressive lines.
