# Highlighting Calligraphy Pens This Highlighter Pen is Inspired by Traditional Writing Techniques By Sarah St.Jules | Published 2013-08-26 | Life-Stages Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/highlighter-pen References: [fancy](http://fancy.com/things/278505113/Fountain-Pen-with-Highlighter-Ink) & [pelikan](http://www.pelikan.com/pulse/Pulsar/en_US.CMS.displayCMS.61808./pelikan-writing-instruments-fountain-pens-printer-supplies-office) When you are a college student, there are few things more vital to your success than a [highlighter pen](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/stabilo-boss). However, they are typically cumbersome and they are only useful for highlighting sections of notes. This writing utensil fuses the highlighter and the calligraphy pen, and Pelikan has created a multi-functional tool. Since the pen is easy to hold and write with, you can take on many different writing tasks with it. Also, since it spurts out bright yellow ink, it is easy to use this while proofreading, or highlighting chapters in a book. This highlighting pen is also interesting looking. It has a clear exterior, and it will definitely attract attention since people are not used to seeing a calligraphy pen highlighting notes. This writing utensil will be the perfect companion when going away to school. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.8/10 - Popularity: 30% | Activity: 15% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Life-Stages](https://www.trendhunter.com/life-stages) > [Youth](https://www.trendhunter.com/youth) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Multi-functional Writing Utensils:** Combining different writing tools into one creates convenience and versatility for users. - **Innovative Ink Delivery Systems:** Developing pens with unique ink delivery methods can enhance user experience and efficiency in writing tasks. - **Unique and Eye-catching Designs:** Creating pens with distinctive designs can attract attention and make writing a more enjoyable experience. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Office Supplies:** Exploring new ways to improve writing tools can drive innovation in the office supplies industry. - **Stationery Retail:** Incorporating new and creative pen designs can differentiate stationary retailers from their competitors. - **Education:** Introducing innovative writing utensils can enhance the learning experience and productivity of students. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Pattern-Drawing Dual-Tip Pens](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/colored-curve-pens.md) - [Elevated Ballpoint Pen Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/paperlux-studio.md) - [Unique Writing Instruments](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/graphite-paintbrush-writing-instrument.md) - [Four-in-One Colored Pens](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/4-color-shine-pens.md) - [Dental Instrument-Inspired Pens](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/handwriting-tool.md) - [Smear-Resistant Writing Pens](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bic-gelocity-gel-pens.md) - [Captivating Stylus Pens](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/quill.md) - [Vintage Calligraphy Pens](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/meisterstck-great-masters-calligraphy.md) - [Clipping Pen Devices](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-clippen.md)
