No, it's not for nothing that artists say that portraits, still lifes, landscapes and other images do not paint, but write. Each such picture carries certain information, in other words, art speaks to us in its own language. But what if you teach the art of speaking in the literal sense of the word?
Designers who work in typography are very sensitive and respectful of words, but in this case it is not about the meaning at all, but about the form. And the more reverently and tenderly substitute the letter for the letter, the symbol for the symbol, the more carefully select the font, point size, size and slope, the prettier and more interesting the works will turn out. For example, here are such portraits, said by real masters of word-creation.
I don’t know who was the first to invent and implement such a "calligraphy", but he can be unambiguously proud of his followers and students.
