Arabic Calligraphy Styles

نسخ

The everyday script of books and the Qur'an: balanced, rounded and the easiest Arabic calligraphy style to read at small sizes.

كوفي

Geometric, square-shouldered letterforms. Perfect for logos, tattoos, posters and anything that should look bold and structural.

ديواني

Highly cursive with sweeping curves and tightly interlocked letters — the most decorative choice for names and wedding art.

رقعة

Short strokes, flat baselines and small counters. This is how most of the Arab world handwrites today.

ثلث

Tall, dramatic verticals and deep curves. The showpiece style used for titles, mosque inscriptions and wall art.

حديث

A light, modern calligraphic hand — elegant thin strokes that suit minimal branding and social posts.

نستعليق

A hanging, diagonal script with sweeping descenders and compact word shapes. Especially suited to Persian and Urdu poetry, names and elegant quotations.

نسخ قرآني

Refined Naskh proportions, generous diacritics and a manuscript-like rhythm designed for dignified verses, literary passages and formal compositions.

كوفي فاطمي

A tall, compact display face inspired by Fatimid-era architectural inscriptions, with emphatic verticals and carved geometric presence.

مغربي

The classic hand of North Africa and al-Andalus: rounded letters of even thickness, wide open bowls that dip below the line, and long stretched horizontals.

كوفي مربع

Letters locked into a strict square grid of right angles — the boldest, most architectural style for logos, seals and statement pieces.

كوفي مزخرف

A hollow, outlined variant of square Kufic geometry — airy and ornamental, striking at large sizes for posters and tattoo outlines.

كوفي قديم

Broad, horizontal letterforms with minimal curves, recalling the earliest Qur'an manuscripts. Solemn and timeless for heritage designs.

تعليق

Sloping, suspended strokes with dramatic rhythm — the Persian chancery hand, ancestor of Nastaliq, full of movement and flair.

كانو

The bold, wide-nibbed hand of West African Ajami manuscripts — rounded, confident and unmistakably different from Middle Eastern styles.

محقق

Long horizontal sweeps and majestic proportions in the spirit of the 'king of scripts', ideal for dignified verses and certificates.

مصحف

A Qur'an-focused cut of Amiri with refined vowel marks and the measured rhythm of printed mushaf pages.

كوفي مدور

Kufic geometry with softened, rounded joints. Friendly enough for kids' brands and cafés while keeping a structured Kufic skeleton.
