Tip shape does the work. A brush tip varies its line with pressure, which is what illustration and lettering need but takes practice. Bullet tips hold one width and are the forgiving classroom choice, while chisel tips give a broad stroke on one edge and a fine one on the other. Test bleed-through on your actual paper before buying a class set. See brush markers, colouring markers and Posca.
