“Elegance is not the abundance of simplicity. It is the absence of complexity.”
This calligraphy example has basic decorations strokes that make it look elegant and attractive. I have seen many new forms of calligraphy styles lately and they go to far with decorations all over the place that things end up looking too complex.
There are many calligraphy looking typefaces today, but only a few tend to look elegant. One of my favorite calligraphy looking typefaces is Adios Script. Adios Script has basic simple ornamental ascenders and descenders allowing a beautiful interplay of strokes and combinations, while avoiding overlaps or conflicts (complexity).
