The Collection of Hands
Every Hand Has Its Own Character.
Every hand possesses its own rhythm, proportion and character.
Some are restrained and architectural. Others move with softness and flourish. Each has been developed through years of traditional practice and selected for its timeless elegance rather than passing fashion.
The choice of script shapes the atmosphere of an invitation, the presence of an engraved object and the experience of reading a handwritten work.
The collection presented here serves as a point of departure. Every commission is individually composed and adapted to suit its material, purpose and scale.

Bespoke Lettering
Beyond the collection, Studio Calissi develops bespoke lettering for private commissions, luxury maisons and artistic collaborations.
Original hands may be created for invitations, editorial projects, packaging, campaigns and one-of-a-kind commissions where a unique written identity is desired.
A personal selection
Selecting the appropriate hand is an integral part of every commission.
Guidance is always provided to ensure the chosen script complements both the material and the spirit of the project.
Whether for a private celebration, a luxury maison or an original artwork, the choice of writing becomes part of the story itself.
