Calligraphy

Hone Your Calligraphy Skills with Tools from Skyblue Stationery Mart

Calligraphy is the art of writing beautiful letters using specific strokes with pressure-sensitive tools like a pen, ink brush, or other writing instruments. You can enhance your expressiveness in writing by emphasizing the appearance and beauty of your letters through calligraphy. Brittany Luiz, author of Lettering with Purpose and the marketing manager at Tombow, explains, "Since calligraphy relies on being able to differentiate between thick downstrokes and thin upstrokes, you want a brush tip that bends enough on the downstroke to give you the thickness you need and bounces back on your upstroke so you can create your thin lines."
