Unlike a typeface, irregularity in the calligraphic characters'
size, style, & colors increases aesthetic value, though the
content may be less legible.
The shape, size, stretch, and hair type of the ink brush, the color, color density and water
density of the ink, as well as the paper's water absorption speed and surface texture are
the main physical parameters influencing the final result. The calligrapher's technique also
influences the result.

Modern calligraphy ranges from functional inscriptions & designs to
fine-art pieces wherein the letters may or may not be readily clear.
Classical calligraphy differs from typography & non-classical handlettering, though a calligrapher may practice both.

Angular & Flourished
Calligraphy has influenced ink and
wash painting—they are done with
similar tools and techniques.
After printing became ubiquitous in the 15th century,
the production of illuminated manuscripts began to
decline. The rise of printing did not bring the end of
calligraphy. The modern revival took off late in the
19th century, influenced by the aesthetics & philosophy of Wm Morris and the Arts & Crafts movement.
