From the computers to smart phones, technology has transformed our society into a fast paced, nonstop world. However, with digital documents and fonts, the art of writing script has been lost, until now. According to the Los Angeles Times, DeAnn Singh is a calligrapher.
Scrapbooks, wedding invitations, and thank-you notes are staples of her trade. Singh has been practicing the craft for more than 30 years, attaining a fluency in nearly 20 formal lettering styles. Her hand lettering is a reminder that words are not just tools of communication, but personal expressions of beauty and creativity.
"Calligraphy is an art; typing isn't," she says. "When you see letters that have been handwritten, you make a connection that doesn't occur with type. Hand lettering leads to a broader, richer relationship to language." However, as our nation becomes more advanced, there are hundreds of thousands of downloadable fonts, eliminating the need for such art. The erosion of the trade has left some calligraphers eager to destroy word processors.
"Computers have corrupted everything," says calligrapher Thomas Ingmire of San Francisco. "The loss of handwriting is the tragic and, to my mind, the logical consequence of the computer." Calligraphy's lack of perfection is precisely its appeal, explains graphic designer Jill Bell. "When you use a font, you lose the spontaneity," Bell says. "Letters lose their life. They look stiff and more formal."
The battle between the art of words and the digitalization of them is ongoing. However, no matter what side you are on, it is going to take a long time for natural beauty to reign supreme. Although the nation is shaken by many back and forth issues, this doesn’t mean you have to be personally.
