8 Stunning Arabic Calligraphy Examples

Arabic calligraphy, is the artistic practice of handwriting and by extension, of bookmaking. This art-form is based on the Arabic script, which for a long time was used by all Muslims in their respective languages.

Here is a awesome collection that I hand-picked in different styles of inspiring Arabic calligraphy and Arabic typography examples.

This list show a wide range of approaches to playing with the language. Some designers opt to go the traditional route, creating designs that speak to scrolls of poetry or incorporate traditionally Arabic design elements, colours, and images.

Others throw tradition out the window and show how the language can be adapted to a contemporary aesthetic.

In this camp, you will find the use of geometric shapes, bold fonts, and modern graphics that speak more to the visuals of computers and video games than they do to any cultural or historical symbols.

Still other designers choose a simple and streamlined approach, allowing the curves, lines, and shapes of the letters to simply speak for themselves.
