Calligraphy goes very well with video. The letter is alive, and the hand tracing on the paper always gives it a strong grace and authenticity.
The agency's projects offer this link between the possibilities of calligraphy and dynamic scenarios that put the graphic applications of this craft into perspective, while at the same time enhancing the value of the product.

Today, I use calligraphy as a demonstration of my art and know-how. There's always something fascinating about the gesture and line of a letter. It speaks to each of us in an intimate way and can shape elegant texts.
