Calligraphy (from Greek καλλος kallos "beauty" + γραφος graphos "writing") is the art of beautiful writing. A style of calligraphy is described as a hand or alphabet.
Calligraphy ranges from functional inscriptions and hand lettering to fine art pieces where the expression of the handwritten mark may take precedence over the legibility of the letters. Well-crafted calligraphy differs from typography; characters are fluid and spontaneous, improvised at the moment of writing.
Calligraphy continues to display itself in the form of wedding and event invitations, maps, and other works involving writing. Some of today's calligraphy has little to do with the artistic discipline of each character, but instead is simply good penmanship that attracts attention and has a style of its own.
