Not that I know Arabic, but to someone who doesn't, it looks cool.

I really like the script, although I don't know too much about arabic, it looks well thought out. But I don't understand, wasn't Kufic an older form of calligraphy for the arabic script(s) ? If so, what's the intention for this script's use (Is it just a squared alternative)?

But I don't understand, wasn't Kufic an older form of calligraphy for the Arabic script(s)? Decorative Kufic is in fact the oldest forms of Arabic calligraphy. If so, what's the intention for this script's use (Is it just a squared alternative)? Well, it is...square Kufic is in use today for Arabic and many other langs...this is just my presentation of the information.
