Many people tend to use disposable ballpoint pens these days, but there are those who still prefer the grace, precision, and personality of fountain pens. Fountain pens have pointed nibs rather than circular tips, so they can be used to create strokes of different widths depending on the pressure, speed, and direction of the strokes. You can also refill the ink cartridges in a fountain pen, meaning one pen could last you a lifetime.
