DOMAIN EXTENSION GUIDE
.calligraphy Domain Names
Applied-for string.calligraphy is a proposed new gTLD centred on the art of calligraphy and the visual language of writing. Publicly announced information identifies Journey To The West Corporation as the applicant associated with .calligraphy, and the string appears in the applicant’s 2026 portfolio. There is no public delegation record in the IANA root zone at this time, so the extension should be treated as prelaunch rather than live.
