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.
