Calligraphy Font Generator: Pen & Brush Lettering

Our calligraphy font generator shows your text in fonts that recreate those strokes: flowing copperplate and Spencerian scripts with heavy downstrokes and hairline curves, compact chancery italic in the style of Renaissance scribes, expressive modern brush lettering and Arabic-inspired calligraphy. Type a name, a date or a quote, pick the style you like and download it as a PNG or SVG image. Looking for something more casual? Try our handwriting fonts for everyday print and quick notes.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

• What is the difference between calligraphy and handwriting fonts?
  Calligraphy fonts imitate formal lettering made with a broad-edged pen, a pointed nib or a brush, with a strong contrast between thick and thin strokes. Handwriting fonts look like everyday writing with a ballpoint or a marker, from neat print to messy notes.
• What are the main styles of calligraphy?
  The best-known Western styles are copperplate and Spencerian script (pointed pen, elegant loops), chancery italic (broad-edged pen, slanted and compact), blackletter (see our gothic fonts) and modern brush calligraphy. Arabic, Chinese and Japanese calligraphy have their own traditions, usually written with a reed pen or a brush.
• Can I use calligraphy fonts for a tattoo or a wedding invitation?
  Yes. Type the name or quote, compare it in every calligraphy style and download your favorite as a PNG or SVG image to show your tattoo artist or printer. Check each font's license on its page before using it commercially.
• Where can I use these calligraphy fonts?
  Text-to-image fonts let you use any custom font for your text and download it as an image, which you can print or copy to some places (e.g. a Word document).
• Are these fonts free to use?
  Our fonts are generally free to use personally, but some require specific permissions for commercial use. Always verify the licensing terms included with the font to stay compliant.
