What is Calligraphy?

Hello, everyone!
I have one simple question before we starts.

Do you guys know what is Calligraphy?
Calligraphy is a visual art related to writing. It is design and execution of lettering with a broad tip instrument, brush, among 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.

So it is basically means the pictogram by hand writing, not only for the meaning delivery but also contains flourish stroke and effects.


Calligraphy's root comes from Greek work 'Kalligraphia', the compound word of Kallos (Beautiful) and graphe (writing).
