Why is my handwriting better with a fountain pen?

Handwriting often improves with a fountain pen because of the smoother ink flow and reduced pressure needed when writing. Unlike ballpoint pens, which require more force and can cause hand fatigue, fountain pens glide effortlessly across the paper, encouraging a more fluid and controlled writing style. This ease can improve the consistency and appearance of your script. Additionally, fountain pens often promote a proper grip and posture, further improving legibility. For many, using a Parker Fountain Pen specifically adds to the experience, as its well-balanced design and responsive nib offer both comfort and precision. The tactile feedback of a fountain pen also slows down your writing slightly, allowing for more deliberate and elegant strokes. Over time, this leads to naturally neater and more refined handwriting.
