Excellent- More about Khatt: Egypt's Calligraphic Landscape

Publisher: Saqi Books
Egypt's cities and villages are adorned with an abundance of khatt, a form of calligraphic script that spans from casual scrawls and scribbles to intricately painted murals. These diverse versions of urban lettering, varying in surface, medium, and technique, grace mosques, shop-fronts, houses, trucks, boats, schools, tuk-tuks, and walls. Serving as records of human existence, they capture expressions of hope, fear, dreams, and anxieties. Khatt presents a comprehensive visual documentation of the found typography and calligraphy in Egypt, a hub renowned for its rich tradition of education and production in the field of calligraphy. This timely volume serves as a preservation of the traditional craftsmanship of hand-painted calligraphy, which is rapidly disappearing due to the digitization of the Arabic script.
