Kufic

Kufic is an early form of Arabic script that originated in the 7th century. It is characterized by its angular, geometric shapes and elongated letters, making it distinct from the more cursive Arabic scripts that followed. Kufic was commonly used for decorative purposes in manuscripts, inscriptions, and architectural elements, particularly in early Islamic art. Its clarity and boldness made it suitable for conveying religious texts and was often employed in the decoration of mosques and other significant buildings, reflecting the artistry of Islamic culture at the time.
