Calligraphy is a visual art related to writing. It is the design and execution
of lettering with a pen, ink brush, or other writing instrument. A contemporary calligraphic practice can be
defined as "the art of giving form to signs in an expressive, harmonious, and skillful manner.
Modern calligraphy ranges from functional inscriptions and designs to fine-art
pieces where the
letters may
or may not be readable.Classical calligraphy differs from type design and non-classical hand-lettering,
though a calligrapher may practice both.
