If you have a piece of Profound clothing you know we like to pay attention the details, but you can't get more down to the nitty gritty than focusing on the design of your words. Calligraphy is an ancient art dedicated to just that, stemming from a time when the stroke of an ink-dipped brush required patience, precision, and some artistic flare to make print (the only medium there was) interesting. In today's digital world, we associate calligraphy with being good at picking out the right fonts in MS Word. But Luca Barcellona is a modern-day Italian calligrapher keeping this art alive.
Based in Milan, Barcellona combines today's culture with a meticulous dedication to the craft of writing, focusing on making each letter a piece of art. As both a graphic designer and calligrapher, his work ranges from traditional paper-and-pen pieces to logos and multi-media installations. He's freelanced for companies such as Zoo York, Carhartt, Nike, Dolce & Gabanna, and also teaches calligraphy workshops across Europe. For more information on him visit his website and enjoy some of the work we've featured here.
