This image has been circulating on Pinterest for a while, but I decided to download it because the implications of taking an "architectural" and adapting it for writing are interesting ....
Does one have to write the Kufi murabba ("square Kufi") script so as to fill up the entire space of a grid, or can it be written out as a line that can actually be read without difficulty?
I've noticed a lot of new scripts being published on this subreddit, but how does one prevent an unscrupulous person from copying one's work (e.g., a post containing all of one's letter forms)?
I was wondering if there were instruction books of any kind for the "decorative" Kufic script of the Safavi and Qajar eras of Iran (an example of the basmalah, done in this style, is in the blue section at the top of the attached photo)?
