Not really the brush format, but just how it's applied.

The easiest way to see it (if your tablet supports it - I don't know if 
the bamboo does or not) is to select the calligraphy tool and set the 
size and speed sensitivities to 0, set the tilt sensitivity to 1 (that 
way the tilt is the only thing affecting the brush stroke).  Set the size 
adjustment to the default and the angle to 90 (which I think is also the 
default).

Then hold the stylus at about a 45 degree angle to the X or Y axis and 
draw a square without changing the tilt.  Then hold the stylus to a 45 
degree angle along the other axis and draw another square.

What you'll see is that in the first case, the lines on the left/right of 
the square are thin, and on the top/bottom are fat.

The second square will have fat lines on the left/right and thin on the 
top/bottom.

The opacity will be consistent (so this is different than using the brush 
tool with pressure set to opacity, which I think is the default).
