What is the story about?
Calligraphy, derived from the Ancient Greek word 'kalligraphía' meaning 'beautiful writing,' is a visual art form that focuses on the design and execution of lettering using various
writing instruments such as pens and ink brushes. This art form is characterized by its expressive, harmonious, and skillful manner of giving form to signs. Unlike typefaces, handwritten calligraphy is marked by irregularity in characters, which vary in size, shape, style, and color, creating a distinct aesthetic value. The practice of calligraphy involves manipulating variables like the angle and direction of the brush to produce different stroke thicknesses and borders, aiming to imbue the characters with 'spirit.' Western calligraphic scripts adhere to strict rules and shapes, ensuring quality writing with rhythm and regularity, and a geometrical order of lines on the page.
