Originally created for addressing holiday postcards and envelopes, the Ohto Fude Ball's extra-broad 1.5 mm rollerball tip combines the precision and simplicity of a rollerball with the bold, expressive strokes of a brush pen. (""Fude"" is Japanese for ""brush,"" so the name Fude Ball literally translates to Brush Ball.) Its smooth, easy-to-handle performance also makes it an ideal choice for bold note-taking and letter writing. The Fude Ball's water-based pigment ink is water resistant and fades resistant—perfect for envelopes and postcards that will be sent through the mail.
