Mir Ali Tabrizi

It is known that he lived in Tabriz and was a poet as well as an adept calligrapher (see Dehkhoda dictionary).

[4] Nas-Taliq is a light and elegant cursive script as other types of Islamic calligraphy.

In contrast to other Islamic scripts, the Nas-Taliq has characters that appear to swing from the upper right to the lower left of each word as if suspended by an imaginary line.

It featured elongated horizontal strokes and exaggerated rounded forms with no serifs.

Later, Jafar's students followed Mir Ali's style in Herat, where his scripts were frequently copied and highly praised.
