An apparatus, eg a marker pen, comprises a housing 10 containing a reservoir of marker fluid and a marker fluid retaining nib 12 protruding from one end of the housing and drawing marker fluid from the reservoir. The nib has a marking surface 18,20 contoured by one or more recesses 14 or protrusions. When the marking surface 18,20 is applied to a substrate an uneven distribution of marker fluid is deposited from the nib 12 onto the substrate resulting in a non uniform mark. By orientating the pen differently, contoured portions of the marking surface can be applied to stamp a pattern, whilst portions which are not contoured can be applied to draw a continuous and uniform line. The nib may be made of a pressure sensitive material. |
