Hashtags won’t do all the work in 2025, but used wisely, they’re still powerful for connecting with the right people — pen fans, lettering lovers, and buyers who value handmade.
Here are the top 10 calligraphy hashtags for March (with their popularity numbers), plus why they matter for pen makers and creatives like you.

Why Calligraphy in March?
Seasonal tie-in: Spring = weddings, graduations, and events. Calligraphy is a natural fit for invitations, certificates, and keepsakes.
Buyer psychology: Shoppers see calligraphy as “premium” → matches perfectly with handcrafted pens.
Community buzz: These hashtags don’t just reach buyers, they pull you into circles of artists, teachers, and collectors. That credibility helps long-term growth.
Quick Action Checklist
✔ Post calligraphy demos with your pens — reels work great.
✔ Mix broad (#calligraphy) + mid-size (#calligraphylove) + niche (#calligraphychallenge) tags in each post.
✔ Keep captions keyword-rich (Instagram SEO counts more than hashtags alone).
✔ Engage! Don’t just drop hashtags — comment on posts in #calligraphycommunity to build connections.

Do not be ashamed to post your very beginning calligraphy! People will love it.
Pen Turning Instagram Pro Tip
Don’t just show the pen. Show the results. Record a short reel of your pen writing out “Happy Graduation” or a spring-themed phrase in calligraphy. Use hashtags like #dailycalligraphy and #calligraphychallenge to boost visibility. Buyers love seeing the craft in action.
Motivation for Makers
Your handwriting doesn’t have to be perfect. Your calligraphy doesn’t have to be flawless. What matters is showing up, practicing, and sharing the joy of ink on paper. Every swipe of the nib is another step forward.
✨ Post it scared.
✨ Share your practice sheets.
✨ Celebrate progress, not perfection.
