Brushpens are marker pens with synthetic tip which simulate a round-tip paintbrush. Those tools readily respond to hand pressure and allow the user to draw shapes and lines in an impactful way. Through different exercises they uncovered the full potential of this tool and discovered how to draw dynamic shapes: starting from abstract marks they obtained a complete font set. Brushpens were used to recreate the structure of well known typefaces such as the chancery writing, providing as final outcome a versatile and dynamic alphabet, customized by each participant.
