The name "Kufic"
comes from a style of calligraphy developed in the Middle
East around the 8th century A.D. The script has specific
proportional measurements, along with pronounced angularity
and squareness which gives it an almost futuristic style.
Kufic calligraphy could be adapted to any space and
material -- from silk squares to the architectural monuments
left by Timur at Samarqand.
Because Kufic script
was not subjected to strict rules, calligraphers employing
it had virtually a free hand in the conception and execution
of its ornamental forms.
