Wow I’d love to buy his calligraphy book but it still costs $160 before postage.

I know it’s fair for the price but that’s still an expense one cannot easily afford if you’re not earning dollars lol.

i love calligraphy, especially with non-latin glyphs. all of the kufic scripts here especially are so stylistically sharp they look like scifi. the maghribi is my favorite of those i think though. something about it is just perfect to me. thanks for sharing. video is extremely cool.

It looks like the character 宁/寧 (peace) or 亭 (pavilion)
