[B-Greek] Hand writing greek letters

This will probably sound just plain stupid, but here's my question:

When I write greek letters by hand, I typically just use a normal pen. 
It never looks quite right though because the strokes are uniform in 
width.  Most printed greek looks like it has varying width strokes. 
(The "feet" of pi would be a good example.)  Has anybody ever tried 
using calligraphic or other types of pens that give this effect? 
Anynody have any experience with this?

(I don't think this is off topic, but feel free to respond off list if 
you would prefer.)

Thanks,
