Welcome to SquareKufi.org, the web site for the Square Kufi Collective,
a group of lettering artists and scholars dedicated to the research, preservation, innovation, and promotion of Square Kufi calligraphy.
Square Kufi (or Kufic) is a style of Arabic calligraphy developed about 800 years ago.
After a period of decline, it is popular again now, hence the need for a place where those interested can communicate, cooperate, and provide educational material for all to enjoy.
Square Kufic in modern Art,
Transmission and TransformationI have completed my PhD dissertation with the title above at the University of Washington in the Summer of 2010.
In the coming months I hope to post here some parts of this work for the benefit of Square Kufic calligraphy lovers.
