My Arabic Language and Calligraphy - Level 4. Naskh Script.

This series is the ideal portal into the world of reading and writing the Arabic language.

The Naskh Script

Naskh, which means 'copying,' was developed in the 10th century, and refined into a fine art form in Turkey in the 16th century. Since then it became generally accepted for writing the Quran. Naskh is legible and clear and was adapted as the preferred style for typesetting and printing. It is a small script whose lines are thin and letter shapes are round.
