Best Answer

ball point

Answer:

A proper pen has a nib at its tip, not a ball point. A nib is a steel device which i designed to hold a small reserve of ink either filled by dipping into an ink well or by drawing on a bladder in a fountain pen. The nib is split so that increased writing pressure makes a wider mark on the page. A pen nib may be designed for either cursive writing or calligraphy.
