Kufic Style     

The oldest manuscripts of early Kufic script, some of which are now found in museums,

date back to the advent of Islam. This old writing style has been named

 “Early or Primary Kufic”.

The great variety of dazzling methods of the Kufic script is quite peerless and exceptional.    

Some styles are mostly ornamental while other styles were used for texts whose reading

was of prime importance.

Among the styles of Kufic script, some are characterized by “local” or “regional”

peculiarities in keeping with the particular geographical features of that region.

There has been a style in Iran named “Eastern Kufic” that enjoys widespread fame among the Kufic scripts.

Another style has been used more frequently in the western lands
