Two kinds of calligraphy
Western calligraphy splits into two broad traditions. Pointed pen script, like Copperplate, uses thin upstrokes and thick downstrokes and is what most people picture for wedding invitations. Broad edge blackletter, often called gothic calligraphy, uses a flat nib held at an angle and gives the bold, angular letters of medieval manuscripts. The script and gothic styles above copy the look of each.
Using calligraphy text in a design
Copy a style into Canva, a phone note or a social caption to try the look. For printed invitations, a real calligraphy typeface or hand lettering will give smoother joins. If you are learning, the handwriting font generator and cursive letters pages are good places to compare letter shapes.
