Welcome to the forums @loomax

See: https://forum.affinity.serif.com/index.php?/topic/162734-how-to-make-a-blackletter-caligraphy-parallel-pen-style-brush-that-can-be-used-as-a-stroke-for-curves-designer-or-photo/

And an existing feature request about the same thing:

yeah, even the Inkscape has calligraphy pen though not adjustable as of illustrator

Please add REAL vector brushes to Affinity Designer including the option Adobe has to create calligraphy brushes eliminating the need to have to use the width tool and a load of other work arounds to create decent lettering. Currently there is no true 'vector brush' despite its name. It's really raster brush (bitmap) produced on a path. That is image that repeat or are stretched on a path and the path's direction is the only thing that can be manipulated.

+1 real vector brushes

I think, there is still no way how to do it in 2025. Am I right?

Lol. We are Canva now, so now we have just small updates here and there. Since 26.03.24 they haven't added none of the highly requested features so far. I am not even sure we will get 2.7 before Fall.

Any way, lets hope they still care about users.
