Calligraphy is derived from the Greek word “Kallos”, which means beauty, and “Graphein”, which means ‘to write’. It led to the dip pen and to the modern ‘typeface.’ It is important in the appreciation of traditional culture and arts education, embodying the artistic and intellectual heritage of a country. Learning calligraphy enhances creative and motor skills, and helps students develop a broader vocabulary.
A good calligrapher will have creativity and a strong artistic sense. Technical skills required include knowledge of artistic instruments and how to utilize them. Calligraphers must create properly shaped and readable letters, with consistent spacing and letter angles. The practice and rhythm of calligraphy requires complete attention and focus; and can help reduce anxiety.
Categories of calligraphy include traditional pointed pen, brush pen, modern pointed pen, and faux calligraphy. The three main types of calligraphy are eastern, western, and Arabic, which utilize the language and handwriting of different regions of the world. Classic calligraphy typically utilizes a reed pen or metal rib, or quill, with the most frequent nub variations including chisel nib and brush.

Famous calligraphers include Steve Jobs and Marquis Lewis, better known as RETNA, a contemporary and graffiti artist, and originator of a distinct linguistic script. Rhythm is particularly important in calligraphy, which means that each stroke should require roughly similar time to create. The contrast between the thick and thin parts of each letter is one of the things that makes calligraphy beautiful.
