What makes calligraphy beautiful?
Consistency of the piece is the key to the beauty in European calligraphy. However, the ART of fine handwriting is by no means a mechanical process. Computers can spit out more identically printed letters then any human can possibly hand-write. A computer has yet to learn to duplicate original art. (Oxymoron: duplicating originality.) The heart of Calligraphy is an artful expression, a meditation of strokes, a careful manipulation of the ink, and above all, the enjoyment of the simple task of writing.
