Theoretically, either with brush and ink, or with some kind of quill and
ink system.  charcoal may be in limited use, as well.  My best
calligraphic attempts were written with ballpoint pen, the kind where
when you go over a line to darken it you make an indent in the paper.
I've also come up in my head with the basic ideas of a cuneiform-like
stylus-imprint-on-clay style of writing the "old form" of the alphabet,
using about 5 different-shaped stylus points - a point/line, a small
circle, a large circle.... something like that.
