The Life of Letters 2026 Calendar: A Free Creative Calendar for Calligraphy & Letter Lovers

Introducing the Life of Letters 2026 Calendar — Your Quiet Companion for a Year of Creativity

Some years feel like they unfold in a blur — days and weeks pass, moments of inspiration come and go, and before we know it, it’s December again. If you’re anything like me, you love the gentle rhythm of planning around meaningful moments: seasonal celebrations, creative prompts, awareness days, and of course, gorgeous stationery windows to pause and play.

This year, I decided to do something I’ve been dreaming about for a long time — I made a calendar just for us.

A Creative Calendar for Calligraphers, Lettering Artists & Stationery Lovers

What’s Inside the Life of Letters 2026 Calligraphy Calendar?

The Life of Letters 2026 Calendar is a curated collection of letter-loving moments throughout the year — from world observances and stationery-centric celebrations to creative prompts that invite you to slow down, pick up a pen, and celebrate letters in all their forms.

Whether you’re a calligrapher, a lettering artist, a typography enthusiast, a writer, or someone who simply cherishes beautiful marks on paper, this calendar is meant to be a quiet companion for your creative year.

Here’s what you can expect:

✴ Letter-Loving Days, Weeks & Creative Observances

Anniversaries, special days and weeks that connect to writing, hand-lettering, books, and creativity.

✴ Mindful Creative Prompts for a Year of Calligraphy & Handwriting

Gentle reminders to pause, reflect, experiment, and play with your tools and ideas — not as obligations, but invitations.

✴ Podcast Release Dates from The Life of Letters

Launch dates for The Life of Letters podcast series are tucked right in, so you can plan when to listen and join the conversation as new episodes are released.

A Note on Creative Observances, Awareness Days & Dates

I’ve gathered these dates with love and curiosity, but please remember that observances can vary by country and do shift from year to year. This calendar reflects everything I could find at the time of making it — and I’d love your help in future editions if you know of other dates or moments that belong here.

Celebrating Calligraphy, Handwriting & Creativity All Year Long

This calendar grew from my own desire to stay connected to the year ahead — not rushing through, but attending to it with curiosity and wonder. It’s my hope that it becomes a warm, functional friend to you too.
