What is calligraphy ?

Calligraphy is a form of visual art that uses a broad-tipped instrument, brush, or other writing tool to make beautiful or expressive handwriting or letters. The word “calligraphy” comes from the Greek words “kallos,” which means “beauty,” and “graphein,” which means “to write.” This is an artistic and skilled way of writing that often focuses on form, flow, and harmony.
