Design your own square kufic calligraphy
Posted on Apr 8th 2009 by Elisabeth Kvernen.
Calligrapher Mamoun Sakkal offers lessons on his website in designing a word or phrase in a style he calls “square kufic.” In this style, each letter is made up of a series of filled-in squares. Starting with a piece of graph paper, you can design your own alphabet, then create intricate patterns with these letter forms.
These designs are abstract and stylized versions of the kufic calligraphy script.

These squares remind me of some of the wood carved blocks that stephen has here in the class room. It is so difficult to create a repeating pattern. they look great though.

Hello TQ,
I’d suggest that you contact Josh Berer http://www.arabiccalligrapher.com/?page_id=2 with your request, as I am not a calligrapher myself. Good luck!
Elisabeth
