How to write names in Kufic with the generator
- Open the generator with Kufic preselected, then type your word in Arabic, translate it from English, or convert a name with the phonetic helper.
- Kufic favours strong horizontals, so names with connecting letters like Mohammed, Hamza or Salma produce a long, balanced shape.
- Names with many separate letters (for example Dawud or Rania) break into blocks; the square canvas keeps those blocks centred.
- If you want a logo-like name mark, keep the word short and use a single solid colour so the geometry stays crisp.
- Download a PNG, a transparent PNG for overlays, or an SVG for print, engraving and tattoo stencils.
Design tips for Kufic calligraphy
Kufic shines in flat, bold colour: white on black, gold on navy or cream on teal. Its geometry holds up at small sizes, which makes it ideal for icons, profile pictures and embroidery files. Export SVG when the design will be printed or cut, because vector edges keep every corner sharp. Arc layouts work surprisingly well for badge-style logos.
