Calligraphy or the art of beautiful writing is a type of visual art. It is often called the art of fancy lettering. A contemporary definition of calligraphic practice is "the art of giving form to signs in an expressive, harmonious and skilful manner".
Calligraphy continues to flourish in the forms of wedding and event invitations, original hand-lettered logo designs, religious art, announcements/graphic design/commissioned calligraphic art, cut stone inscriptions and memorial documents. It is also used for props and moving images for film and television, testimonials, maps and other works involving writing.
