Arabic calligraphy is an age-old art, recognized as a UNESCO intangible heritage, which
enhances writing in fluid and geometric patterns. Traditionally using a calame (reed) and natural ink, this art is divided into angular (Kufic) and cursive (Naskh, Thuluth) styles. It adorns manuscripts, monuments and objects of art, combining geometric precision with great spiritual expressiveness.
