Not a simple elongation, but a pro “Kashida”!

Arabic glyphs fonts found in editing software may offer vertical elongation (Kashida) which is simply the addition of a basic line, while eMashq offers it according to the traced line (thickness and inclination) and also offers horizontal and step elongations.(ex.: in the arm of Kaf كـ).

Move the segments, get free!

Another feature of eMashq’s advanced Arabic typography, is the ability to move the segments (set of connected characters) to achieve beautiful calligraphic figures in which the lines merge and overlap.

Decorative forms, an artist calligrapher’s tool

It refers to all the diacritics and decorative forms of a particular font.

They adorn the calligraphic canvas and are sometimes necessary in certain styles (e.g.: Jali Diwani) or in peculiar contexts (e.g.: write the noble Qur’an)

That’s not everything, there’s more..

eMashq is supplied with other useful functions for calligraphy, such as the grid to better balance calligraphy, add then enable and disable a background image to follow a sketch in calligraphic design, etc.
