Nastaʿlīq
Nasta‘līq (Persian: نستعلیق (in a simplified typeface: نستعلیق), from نسخ (نسخ) Naskh and تعلیق (تعلیق) Taʿlīq) is one of the main calligraphic hands used in writing the Persian alphabet and traditionally the predominant style in Persian calligraphy. It was developed in Iran in the 14th and 15th centuries. It is sometimes used to write Arabic language text (where it is known as Taʿlīq or Persian and is mainly used for titles and headings), but its use has always been more popular in the Persian, Urdu, and Turkic sphere of influence. Nastaliq remains very widely used in Iran, Afghanistan, Pakistan and India and other countries for written poetry and as a form of art.
