Roman Calligraphy

Roman calligraphy refers to the artistic writing style developed by ancient Roman scribes, characterized by precise, elegant letterforms often inscribed on monuments, manuscripts, and official documents. It emphasizes clarity, balance, and symmetry, employing tools like quills and styluses. The style evolved through periods such as Roman Square Capitals and Rustica, influencing Western typography and design. Today, Roman calligraphy is appreciated for its historical significance and aesthetic appeal, inspiring modern fonts and calligraphic art that seek to capture the timeless, disciplined elegance of ancient Roman inscriptions.
