NASKH (Script) Naskh is a sans-serif script, meaning characters lack “hooks” on the ends of ascending and descending strokes.
Nastaʿlīq (Persian: ﻧﺳﺗﻌﻠﯾق, from ﻧﺳﺦ,
Naskh and ﺗﻌﻠﯾق, Taʿlīq) is one of the main calligraphic hands used in writing the Persian alphabet, and traditionally the predominant style in Persian calligraphy. .. Naskh uses a horizontal base line; in situations where one character starts within the tail of the preceding letter, the base line is broken and raised.[5] In sixteenth-century Constantinople, Şeyh Hamdullah (1429–1520) redesigned the structure of naskh, along with the other "Six Pens," in order to make the script appear more precise and less heavy.[6] Naskh was historically used heavily in the transcription of books and in administrative courtly documents.[4]
More recently, fonts, such as
Monotype Imaging's Bustani font, have created user-friendly digital manifestations of naskh for use in graphic design and digital typography Importance of calligraphy
