Kaligram

A Kaligram (also spelled Calligram) is a type of visual poetry where the typographic arrangement of words forms a visual image related to the subject of the poem. The words, letters, or other typographic elements are arranged to create a picture on the page. This picture typically illustrates the theme or content of the poem itself, providing a visual reinforcement of the text's meaning. The goal is to create a unified work of art where the visual and verbal elements are inextricably linked and contribute equally to the overall effect. The visual arrangement is not merely decorative, but integral to the poem's meaning.
