Calligraphy Styles

 

Calligraphy Styles

Here is a list of Calligraphy Styles to help you with practicing writing. There are samples from various languages and countries, some languages have more styles than others. I have not listed all styles present, but enough to get you going.

What I recommend you do is to save the style image of your choosing and print them out on normal paper. This will be your hard copy guide to aid you when you start practicing. Some of the examples are presented as the complete alphabet and some are excerpts of writings in the specified styles.
