The origins of calligraphy date back to ancient China around 2000 B.C., when it evolved into a revered art form that transcended mere written communication. The invention of paper in China sparked a golden age of writing and calligraphy, with the development of distinct styles and a scientific approach to the craft.

In contrast, European calligraphy drew inspiration from Greco-Roman scripts, with the enigmatic Etruscan Alphabet laying the groundwork for the Latin alphabet that would eventually emerge in modern-day Italy. As the art form progressed, it transitioned from solely using capital letters to incorporating a range of lettering styles and this year the world celebrated World Calligraphy Day On August 14, Wednesday.
