Calligraphy is a beautiful discipline that everyone loves but few have mastered. The craftsmanship and personal style that it takes to write every word, can’t be reproduced on rigid, geometrically perfect typefaces. On the other hand, branding is usually associated with clean and minimalistic ideal shapes and solid colors, which are very far away from the calligraphic style.\nBut when you are brave enough to combine calligraphic elements to create a solid branding, good things can happen. To inspire here are a few examples of beautiful calligraphy work on branding and stationery:\n\"7\"<\/a>\nTote Bags<\/a> by Dasha Levchuk\n\"8\"<\/a>\nStationery by<\/a> Dasha Levchuk\n\"5\"<\/a>\nYes I Do Branding<\/a> by Nayane Nathalie & Cristiane Amaral\n\"9\"<\/a>\nMemorie Calligrafiche<\/a> by Anna Schettin\n\"1\"<\/a>\nJoe and Bee’s Wedding Invitation<\/a> by Belinda Love Lee\n\"2\"<\/a>\nMarrons<\/a> by Gilányi Nóra\n\"3\"<\/a>\nBuddhafields<\/a> by Anagrama\n\"4\"<\/a>\nNathalie Marquez Courtney Branding<\/a> by Belinda Love Lee\n\"6\"<\/a>\nFranguini <\/a>by Gonçalo Soares\n\"11\"<\/a>\nCome Home<\/a> by Javier Jabalera\n\"12\"<\/a>\nKawakami Woodware<\/a> by Lisa Taniguchi\nAnd the last tip: There is good news for those who are fans of calligraphy but really sucks on writing it. There are plenty of handwritten fonts that imitates a lot of calligraphic styles: brush pen, copperplate, simple handwriting, etc. And right now seems to be a big trend on releasing this kind of fonts. You can check the plethora of choices here on Creative Market.<\/a>\n

Calligraphy Branding Tips<\/h2>

\nCalligraphy adds a human touch to the design. The freehand strokes can evoke human empathy or even luxury craftsmanship to a product, take this in mind and use it with caution. Products that are artisan, handmade, or even organic are some good possible targets for this technique.\nWith Calligraphy, it’s easy to create contrast. You can take advantage of the imperfect and non-geometrical strokes and combine them with solid colors and really big margins or a few pixel-perfect forms.\n<\/p>
