Calligraphic

Modern Western calligraphy is mainly used in formal settings, including wedding invitations and announcements, as well as in type and computer font design, letter cutting, hand-lettered logo design, religious art, graphic design, commissioned calligraphic art, carved stoneinscriptions, and memorial documents. It is also used for testimonials, birth and death certificates, maps, and other written works. Modern Western calligraphy incorporates a wide range of styles, from functional inscriptions and designs to fine art pieces, where the legibility of letters varies. Contemporary calligraphy has been defined as "the art of giving form to signs in an expressive, harmonious, and skillful manner".
