People say that Calligraphy is an art of scripting or writing script in a certain way as an effort to reveal the beauty of what is being written in the form of artistic letters.
As with Chinese or Arabic calligraphies as well, Traditional Western calligraphic scripting had to follow very strict rules and accurate shapes. In term of quality the form of writing artistic letter had its own up-down wide-thin rhythmic strokes and regular form to the letters, with a geometric order of the lines and shapes. Each character still has to be written in a precisely stroke order.
