dip pens

Dip pens are writing instruments consisting of a metal nib attached to a handle, typically made of wood or plastic. To use one, you dip the nib into ink, allowing it to absorb the ink in the carved or pointed tip. When you write, the ink flows from the nib onto the paper through capillary action and the pressure exerted. Dip pens offer fine control and variability in line thickness, making them popular for calligraphy and detailed artwork. They require frequent re-dipping but provide a traditional, tactile writing experience with vibrant, rich ink flow.
