Hi Friends,
The attached file shows One Arabic Word in 2 Styles.
That's right: One Computerized and the other in Kaligrafi (top.)..
Comparing the 3 words in the KL.jpg, see what makes the word on the top more attractive and shorter (less horizontal). That’s right:
1. Kerning (closeness of the last letter with R) and
2. Ligatures (integration of the first 2 letters).
More later...
All the Best
