Classical calligraphy differs from type design and non-classical hand-lettering, though a calligrapher may practice both. Modern calligraphy ranges from functional inscriptions and designs to fine-art pieces where the letters may or may not be readable. : 17 A contemporary calligraphic practice can be defined as "the art of giving form to signs in an expressive, harmonious, and skillful manner". It is the design and execution of lettering with a pen, ink brush, or other writing instrument.

Calligraphy (from Greek: καλλιγραφία) is a visual art related to writing.
