Calligraphy is a valid form of art that has existed for centuries, from ancient China to today. The term " calligraphy" is of Greek origin and means " to write with beauty". It gives each letter character and personality, and for this reason, it is always very expressive. It is certainly not the most readable form of writing and therefore not suitable for use in the body of the text, but if used well, it can create a significant impact and prove to be very evocative.
Today the calligraphy of the past is recreated with the so-called calligraphic fonts or handwritten fonts that imitate handwriting. They can be used for your graphic projects, especially if you need sophisticated or refined typography. So, if you are a Graphic Designer who needs inspiration or come here by chance because you are looking for calligraphic fonts that imitate handwriting, this is the article for you!
