And finally, there is Yeseo, which is the official script. There are five main types of script within Korean calligraphy, each of which denotes the style of the writing. It was asymmetrical, filled with powerful strokes that made it stand out from others work. He is said to have revolutionised the art form by creating what is called the chusa style. Perhaps the most well known Korean calligrapher, however, is Kim Junghee. Hailing from the kingdom of Silla, the name given to the Korean peninsula at the time, Choe Chiwon also found popularity within the Tang dynasty back in China. Some of the earliest known masters of calligraphy in Korean were Kim Saeng, and later Choe Chiwon. Not only this, but the art of writing artistically in this manner didn’t become popular until the 8th century. The current day Korean alphabet would not appear until King Sejong’s rule in the 15th century., thus Chinese characters were prevalent. In the early period of Korea, perhaps even in the 2nd or 3rd century, there was no Hangul. Korea has an equally long history with calligraphy (or Seoye in Korean), one that first derived from Chinese Hanja.
It’s also not lost on modern typefaces and graphic design, with elements crossing over between the two. It’s still a widely practised art today, with techniques that have changed with the eras and traditions that remain part of its identity. Various forms can be found all across the world from many different time periods, and despite their differences in language and some forms, all use beautifully crafted lettering to present words as a form of visual art. Calligraphy has long been a practised, artistic form of writing that marks it separately from ordinary handwriting.
