Sivellinkärkinen

Sivellinkärkinen is a Finnish term that translates to "brush tip" or "brush point." It most commonly refers to the type of writing instrument where the tip is made of flexible bristles, similar to a brush. This allows for a variable line width depending on the pressure applied. Sivellinkärkinen pens are often used for calligraphy, lettering, and artistic drawing due to their expressive potential. The bristles can be made from natural animal hair, synthetic fibers, or a combination of both. The flexibility and absorbency of the bristles are key factors in the pen's performance. In the context of art supplies, a sivellinkärkinen pen is distinct from pens with felt or hard plastic tips. Their ability to create both thin and thick strokes with a single pen makes them versatile tools for creative work.
