Stylizing the arabic font like that is really fucking sick. Someone somewhere put a lot of thought into it. It could be better if they could pursue the art of lettering and design in peace, but we don't live in a perfect world so they had to work on a war banner instead.

Afaik that's a major element of Arabic calligraphy, which is cool af:)

If someone else is interested, I looked around and found this series about arabic calligraphy very interesting, going into all the technicalities: https://youtu.be/kDuLM_4T6cQ

It's episode one, and it's undubbed, with english hardsubs, so it requires some patience like calligraphy itself does.

Thanks, I haven't seen this! Only a few moments in and it's already gorgeous.
