Calligraphy is a branch of art. Calligraphy is also called the art of beautiful handwriting. The modern definition of calligraphy reads as follows: «the art of designing characters in an expressive, harmonious and skillful manner.» Modern calligraphy is quite varied: from domestic handwritten inscriptions on cards to high art, where the expression of a handwritten character does not always have to generate clear letterforms. Classical calligraphy significantly differs from font compositions and non-standard handwritten forms, although a calligrapher has be able to do both and even more; letters were formed in such forms throughout history, but nevertheless they are still fluid and spontaneous, and always get born at the moment of writing.
