Highlighters

Highlighters are designed to draw attention without obscuring underlying content. Known for their bright, translucent ink, they’re commonly used for studying, planning, organizing, and creative annotation. Beyond traditional note-taking, many artists also use highlighters for design accents, layering, and color emphasis.

They offer a simple way to add clarity, structure, and visual contrast to both practical and creative work.
