Tibetan Calligraph Listed in World Guinness Records

A 131-meter scroll of Tibetan calligraphy has been recently included in the Guinness World Records for displaying the largest number of Tibetan font styles.

The scroll took a professor at Tibetan University three years to finish.

The professor copied out two Tibetan literary works on the scroll, using eight fonts including one created by the calligrapher himself and a reformed type that can fit the irregular Tibetan characters into squares like a Chinese typeface.

The calligrapher said he hopes to present the world with the beauty of ancient Tibetan handwriting.
