The Diwani Jali script, one of the most beautiful and well-shaped Arabic calligraphy.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

It was invented by the Ottoman calligrapher<\/strong> \u201cShahla Pasha\u201d at the end of the tenth century Hijri, as it was inspired by the Diwani <\/strong>calligraphy. Certain letters appear below the line and others above it. Rather, what is taken into account first is the uniformity<\/strong> and harmony<\/strong> of the letterforms. Then he developped it by perfecting its shape and embellishment, then the teacher of calligraphy in the Royal Office “Muhammad Izzat Al-Turki” took a part in its improvement.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

The most famous calligraphers of the Diwani Jali script<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

History didn’t mention several names of this font’s developers Because it was restricted to the Sultanate\u2019s offices in the Ottoman era, and it wasn’t considered a kind of art in the beginnings of its creativity. The calligrapher “Mahmoud Shukri Pasha Al-Masry” remains one of the most famous who mastered the Diwani Jali font, after him the calligrapher “Mustafa Azlan Bey”.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

What distinguishes the Diwani Jali script ? and what are its uses?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\n
\n

This font is contrasted from its predecessor (the Diwani font<\/strong>) by the plenty of decorative diacritics<\/strong>, movements<\/strong>, and dots<\/strong> that fill the spaces between letters and words until the sentence forms a single block or a full drawing without spaces. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Accordingly, it was called Aljali<\/strong>; which means innovated<\/strong> and skillful<\/strong>, contrary to the al-Diwani script (or the Diwani khafy), which was commonly used without diacritics or decoration.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
