This project celebrates the beauty of the Arabic language through the poem by Ahmed Shawqi: “The one who enriched all languages with virtues made an exception, placing all beauty and secrets in the language of the letter Ḍād (إن الذي ملأ اللغات محاسنًا جعل الجمال وسره في الضاد)”. The poem is rendered in the classical Thuluth script.
The design focuses on Flow and Elegance. By arranging the verses in a seamless, harmonious line, the composition reflects the “virtues” of the language itself. The Thuluth script, known for its balanced proportions, mirrors the poet’s admiration for the sophistication of the letter Dad.
We utilized Classical Thuluth, the most sophisticated script for poetic expression. Its rhythmic ligatures and regal verticality ensure that every word is presented with the weight and elegance the poem deserves.
We structured the poem to ensure a natural reading rhythm, carefully aligning the terminal letters to create a sense of completion. After finalizing the hand-inked draft, the piece was converted into a precise vector file, ensuring the classical proportions of the script are flawlessly captured and fully scalable for any professional print application.
Delivered in high-resolution vector format, this work is ideal for high-end poetry collections, academic branding, or sophisticated interior wall art that celebrates linguistic heritage.
