1. A digital fountain pen, comprising:
a nib having two tines made of a flexible material, wherein the two tines define a slit with a variable slit width that varies in response to at least one of: a pressure applied to the nib or orientation of the digital fountain pen relative to a writing surface;
a sensor module configured to measure the variable slit width;
an orientation detection module configured to determine a position and tilt of the digital fountain pen relative to the writing surface to provide orientation data including at least one of: X coordinate, Y coordinate, XTilt angle, or YTilt angle; and
a communication module configured to transmit at least one of: the slit width data or the orientation data to a connected computing device, wherein the computing device utilizes the slit width data and/or the orientation data to dynamically control an amount of digital ink dispensed onto a digital paper, thereby simulating a writing experience and ink output of a stationery fountain pen.
