30 Stunning Examples of Calligraffiti

Calligraffiti is a combination of calligraphy and graffiti. It is about the art of writing and very often uses Arabic or Japanese characters, sometimes using the Western alphabet in Eastern style. The father of Calligraffiti is Niels Shoe Meulman, who started to experiment with mixing calligraphy with graffiti: traditional handwriting with a metropolitan attitude.

Conclusion

I only included wall graffiti as I consider that calligraphy on paper or canvas is purely calligraphy and doesn’t fall into the category of calligraffiti.
