Opposed to or contrary to the principles and aesthetics of calligraphy, the art of beautiful handwriting.
From anti- (against) + calligraphic, from Greek kallos (beauty) + graphia (writing). This is a modern term reflecting contemporary debates about handwriting versus digital text.
The rise of computers created actual 'anticalligraphic' movements—digital typographers who rejected traditional beautiful handwriting as elitist or outdated, leading to fascinating debates about whether beauty in letters matters anymore.
