The calligraphic art is said to have emerged in the Rome somewhere around 600 BC, which have later been advanced and structured as per the changing trends and requirements during the Medieval Ages. It has evolved and transformed mostly during the 10^th Century to present. It was done with instrument having broad bases such as brushes, to get the appropriate texture.

In the modern days, creation of calligraphy fonts is no more limited to brushes. Today, calligraphists use pens with different sizes of nibs, wooden blocks, sticks (ice cream sticks) etc.
