There's something charming about the free flowing nature of the Calligraphy pieces, created by Alexis Persani, Jackson Alves, Ivan Lyashenko, Boglárka Nádi and Mauro Melis. The grittiness and texture make it feel tactical and human, while the confident strokes give it elegance. It's like refined graffiti.
In my opinion Calligraphy tends to hold its own ground in design. It's hand drawn quality adds and organic flow to type that traditional typesetting can't seem to replicate. Type can be rigid and structured, it often has to be placed, and even when it's distorted it's being manipulated within constraints and rules. That's why I feel Calligraphy flourishes in font, typography and logo design.
