The SAKURA Pigma Brushpen Medium is a brush-tip pen with a flexible synthetic tip and black pigment ink, designed for calligraphers, illustrators, and manga and lettering artists. The flexible tip responds to changes in hand pressure, allowing smooth transitions from thin lines to broader strokes. Once dry, the acid-free ink does not bleed through, is water-resistant, and is highly fade-resistant.
