Calligraphy

Calligraphy, derived from the Greek words for "beauty" and "writing," is a visual art form that emphasizes the design and execution of lettering. It encompasses various styles, from functional hand-lettering to abstract fine art, where letter legibility can sometimes be compromised. Calligraphy finds application in diverse fields such as graphic design, clothing, signage, and even tattoos. Traditionally, it served as the primary means of producing written works before the advent of the printing press, evolving through distinct styles like Western, Arabic, and Chinese calligraphy.
