Calligraphy pads are specialized paper pads designed specifically for practicing and creating calligraphy. See below what makes them unique and ideal for calligraphy.

• Smooth Surface: The paper in calligraphy pads is usually very smooth, allowing pens to glide easily. This is essential for producing clean, crisp lines.
• Grid or Guideline Options: Some calligraphy pads come with printed guidelines, grids, or dotted lines to help with the alignment and spacing of letters. This is particularly helpful for beginners.
• Ink Absorption: The paper is designed to absorb ink efficiently without bleeding or feathering. This ensures that the ink stays sharp and the lines remain distinct.
• Weight and Texture: Calligraphy paper is typically heavier than regular paper to withstand the pressure and ink from calligraphy pens and brushes. The texture is also more consistent to prevent snagging .
• Acid-Free: Many calligraphy pads are acid-free, which means the paper won’t yellow over time. This is important for preserving your work.
