Naskh Style 

     Naskh script is considered as one of the renowned and frequently

applied styles of Islamic calligraphy.

This style emerged from the changes in the Kufic script.

The widespread use of the style is due to its suitability for writing Qur’an.

Due to its special capabilities for scriptural writing,

this style has drawn the attention of most artists of the Islamic world.

For this reason, numerous styles with indigenous characteristics in shape

 have emerged from the Naskh script.

 

The Iranian and Turkish methods of Naskh have been used

more frequently and have enjoyed more popularity. T

he Iranian style of Naskh, perfected by Mirza Ahmad Neirizi,

flourished quite well during the Safavid era.

Thulth Style  

     A glance at traditional calligraphy reveals the use of different

styles for religious texts.

 The Thulth script, along with the Naskh script, was applied to a

great portion of such texts. Just like other styles, this style was able to

 find its special uses among texts and writings.  

     This particular style was mostly used for inscriptions of mosques,

 religious places and architectural monuments in general.

 

Although the Iranian method of this style is so fascinating,

especially as used in the inscriptions,

yet it reached perfection under Turkish master calligraphers

as an obvious and unique display.
