This book aims to introduce a practical guide with a modern look enabling beginners and especially graphic design students and type designers to fully and easily understand the foundations of classic calligraphy. Rather than complex explanations, eye-catching sentences with keywords and clear illustrations are provided throughout the project, so that everyone, even beginners can comfortably learn the principles of calligraphy. Moreover, the fundamental calligraphic content is presented through practice and exercises along with the required theoretical background. Another important aspect is that great effort has been given to defining rules based on reliable sources since the beginner needs dogmatic norms rather than ambiguous expressions.
