Arabic calligraphy has many different scripts. Each one has very specific rules as to how to form the letters. The different scripts were developed to serve different purposes. For example the Kufic script was developed for writing on stone which is why the letter are more angular. One style that does not follow any rules is free style. Even though this script does not follow any rules I think it has just as much character and beauty as the traditional scripts. It is especially nice to watch the artists at work. I was a little bummed that I could not find any ladies doing this but here are two clips hope you like.
