Persian calligraphy

Around one thousand years ago, Ibn Muqlah (Persian: ابنِ مقله بيضاوی شيرازی) and his brother created six genres of Iranian calligraphy, namely "Mohaqiq", "Reyhan", "Sols", "Naskh", "Toqi" and "Reqa".

In the 7th century (Hijri calendar), Hassan Farsi Kateb combined the "Naskh" and "Reqa" styles and invented a new genre of Persian calligraphy named "Ta'liq".

Almost a century later, Abdol-Majid Taleqani, who was a prominent artist at the time, brought this genre to its highest level.

However, cursive Nas’taliq has a few significant differences: it provides more flexible movements, and it is slightly more stretched and curved.

Zendeh Roudi, Jalil Rasouli, Parviz Tanavoli, and Nima Behnoud use Persian calligraphy and Rumi poetry in dress designing.
