Thuluth Script
Thuluth Script, developed in the 9th century, is regarded as one of the most elegant and artistic styles of Arabic calligraphy. Its name, meaning “one-third,” refers to the script’s letter proportions and structure. Thuluth is characterized by large, curved letters, elongated vertical lines, and decorative flourishes, often used in architectural inscriptions, religious texts, and ceremonial designs. This script requires a high level of skill, as its intricate beauty lies in the balance between movement and form. Thuluth remains a popular choice for artistic pieces, including mosque decorations, calligraphy panels, and prestigious works.
