Calligraffiti Background & Features

Open Window

Calligraphic

Open Source

Calligraffiti is a free font from Open Window.

Calligraffiti was created by Open Window. The typeface shows dedication to typographic detail, visible in its letterform construction and optical balance.

As a Calligraphic typeface in the Vox-ATypI Scripts classification, Calligraffiti features stroke modulation from broad-nib pen angle translation and partially connected or fully disconnected letterforms. These optical characteristics make it well-suited for religious and ceremonial documents.

Calligraffiti is available in a single weight, offering focused typographic consistency spanning screen and print contexts, with 5 curated font pairings available. Standard Latin character coverage serves the majority of Western typographic workflows.
