“The word khatt not only refers to writing, script, lettering, calligraphy, and typographic style. It also means line, as in a trace on a page… a line of thinking… a direction…”
Our good friend Dina (expert on Arabic typography and professor at AUD) keyed me into the meaning. Thanks Dina!
That’s a really beautiful definition — not just the writing, but also the ideas contained therein. Thanks!
