urban calligraphy

Urban calligraphy is a contemporary art form that combines traditional calligraphy techniques with street art influences. It involves creating stylized, expressive lettering in public spaces, often using spray paint, markers, or other accessible tools. Artists blend design and craftsmanship to transform everyday environments—walls, murals, or sidewalks—into visual messages or artistic statements. Urban calligraphy emphasizes creativity, individuality, and the dynamic nature of city landscapes, allowing artists to communicate personal or cultural stories in a visually compelling way that interacts with urban life.
