Pilot G2 Premium Gel Ink Pens, Fine Point (0.7mm), Red, 10 Count

Even though we do more tapping than writing, if you need write and have "mature, work hardened hands", these are a God Sent. If when writing and emotions are stressed or thoughts racing, a death grip on a pen or cramps after a few paragraphs can ruin the creative flow. But, I've found the design of these pens to be better against fatigue, and being left Handed, no worries about smudging. The ink dries very quickly. Gentle flow, easy glide while not leaving " little dots" as the ink heats up from your hand. It doesn''t feel like you're dragging it across paper, which increases fatigue. The grippy, is a feature I used as a Therapist for my Arthritic Patients, that were slid onto pens, are now built into them. Less chance of that ugly "Writing Callus" as well. As long as you don't death grip it. I highly recommend this brand and style for us, older correspondents, who still do more writing than tapping. As far as the thickness of the line, I only use Medium Point. I don't have to go through 4 copies of carbons anymore, as I did Charting after patient treatment. It is still bold enough, without looking like I'm using all caps. 😋

Never met a Pilot G-2 I didn't love! These were for my son, who favors the BOLD, which have been harder to come by in the stores. His artistic side is duely (doodle- ly?), satisfied when he has one of these in hand, whether for work or pleasure. I hope these are never out of stock and are manufactured as long as humans have hands.
