That number is the width of the pen that you would be holding in your hand. That would be pretty cool if they made a pen that writes that wide, it would use alot of ink. If you have any other questions feel free to reach out. **Q: What's the difference between this (Atlantis Velocity) and the Velocity pen?** A: The Atlantis Velocity Bold and the Velocity Bold are the same pen. The Velocity Bold is now known as Atlantis Velocity Bold. **Q: Is this a gel pen?** A: It is not a gel pen. It is a ball point pen with an extra large ball that produces think lines similar to a gel pen. **Q: Are there refills for this pen?** A: I don't know but the price point is low and they write wonderfully. Clear and bold.
