Arabic calligraphy forms

How many forms of Arabic calligraphy are there? Is there a website that showcase these forms?Donmust90 (talk) 00:57, 3 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

A website devoted to Arabic calligraphy showcasing many styles is arabiccalligraphy.com. I am amazed how little informative our own article Arabic calligraphy is. You can see some examples in the article Islamic calligraphy, but that is not nearly all. The Wikimedia Commons categories Category:Arabic calligraphy, Category:Islamic calligraphy and their subcategories have many more examples, but offer no neatly organized explanation. --Lambiam 11:11, 3 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

And arabic-calligraphy.com has a page showing the six traditional styles. --Lambiam 11:17, 3 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
