Arabic Calligraphy
Arabic calligraphy has several different styles, but two important ones are Thuluth and Kufic.
- Thuluth is a more flowing and decorative style, with curved letters and a lot of movement. It was often used for religious writing, especially in mosques and Qur’anic inscriptions.
- Kufic is one of the older styles of Arabic writing and is much more angular and geometric. It was commonly used in early Qur’anic manuscripts and on buildings.
- Basically, Kufic looks more straight and structured, while Thuluth is more curved and decorative.
