30 Beautiful Calligraphy GIFs You Can’t Stop Watching

It’s very rare to find nice handwriting nowadays. It’s even rarer to find someone who’s well-versed in the art of calligraphy. Gone are the days when notebooks looked less like a bunch of pages written in Morse Code and more like eye candy. This is understandable, in a way; with how far technology has come, touch-typing makes it possible to type out thoughts and important notes faster than if one were to write it down.

Here are 30 gifs for your enjoyment, and I promise you – it’s difficult to stop watching.
