pointed pen

A pointed pen refers to a type of writing instrument that features a flexible, pointed nib, allowing for a variety of line widths based on pressure applied while writing. Commonly used in calligraphy and artistic lettering, the pointed nib can create both thin and thick strokes, enhancing the aesthetic quality of handwriting. Unlike a standard pen, which has a consistent flow, the flexibility of the nib provides more expressive control, making it popular among artists and those interested in decorative writing. Pointed pens are often used with special inks and papers designed for creative writing tasks.
