The Arabic Script is the basis for one of the richest calligraphic artistic traditions in the world.
The script is used in various forms to write Arabic, Persian (Farsi), Urdu, and several other languages.
Historical forms, such as kufic, maghrebi, diwani, tuluth, nasta'liq, shekasteh are joined by a flourishing
vocabulary of contemporary forms. Calligraphy commissions are welcomed for a wide range of uses, from
body art to marriage certificates. To learn more, CLICK HERE
