calligraphy

Amazing bit of work, and I really like the tile calligraphy piece he made.

He audited the calligraphy class, and slept on floors and couches.

Wow, nice calligraphy, I think its written using a soft nib pen. Also: Who is the "Guardian of the Ark"?

The point is that the calligraphy class had substantial value later on, at least in the mind of Steve Jobs.

Those interested in "just the text files" probably want the Book of Kells w/o the calligraphy...

No one "creates" letters unless it's on stone or wax tablet and no one "draws" it unless it's calligraphy.

I remember as a kid, growing up in Kashmir, I took special pride in my Urdu calligraphy skills.

I think Josh's point is that Jobs' success came from the inspiration he got from his calligraphy class not an engineering degree.

Sure, Jobs audited the calligraphy class, but he was able to do so because there was a liberal arts college running the class.

Then they write you a thoughtful letter in beautiful calligraphy on home-made organic paper.

He was technical, but deeply philosophical and artistic, so much so that when he was in college he took a calligraphy course, which ended up being why we have true-type fonts.

Isn't that the point?Criticizing this font is like criticizing a 5 year old child's handwriting on a birthday card, and asking why he didn't have professionally calligraphy.

For example: [Steve] Jobs later said, "If I had never dropped in on that single calligraphy course in college, the Mac would have never had multiple typefaces or proportionally spaced fonts.

While we are going for crazy conspiracy theories, 24 of the Chinese passengers were from a calligraphy art group returning from having their art displayed in KL. Maybe it is someone who really really hates Chinese calligraphy?The point is that there are all kinds of reasons why groups of people end up on the same plane.

"Futher, the Sortfolio model could expand into a variety of other verticals including photographers, wedding planning, catering, illustrators, artists, etc. Id love to see a Sortfolio for calligraphy or hand lettering.

Even the most thought-out arguments about fonts have associations as their bedrock: when Robert Bringhurst laments that a font shows no real axis with its variations in stroke width and therefore fails to evoke calligraphy, the axis he's missing is still important "merely" because of its association with calligraphy.
