Bring your family closer with a custom calligraphic artwork that unifies your family name.
Every commission begins with your name. We believe each project is distinct, allowing us to create something truly personal every time. We explore the form and character of your name and how it pairs with another, whether that be a friend, sibling or partner, as the composition is shaped by how the names complement and balance each other.
At Maktub, we believe every name has an Arabic script style that suits it best. Our calligraphers take pride in shaping your names in the most complementary forms, recommending specific scripts to achieve the strongest result. Each artwork begins by hand and is then carefully digitised, creating a piece that’s both beautiful and versatile for a wide range of uses.
A popular script designed by Ruh, but has seen many copycats, yet it remains one of the most elegant Arabic scripts today.
A sophisticated script that borrows from calligraphic heritage but is accentuated by its swooping strokes and refined poise.
A contemporary style that is both energetic and bold. The Arin script is based on the Sunbuli style but adapted into our own unique style.
A timeless, graceful style that captures romance and emotion through delicate forms and flowing, interwoven strokes.
Noted for his original Arabic scripts, British artist and calligrapher Ruh Al-Alam found himself frequently being approached for special commissions — a demand that led to the creation of Maktub as a boutique service.
Ruh is a traditionally trained calligrapher and designer who has brought together a team of carefully selected calligraphers under the Maktub name. Guided by his creative direction, many commissions feature entirely bespoke script styles and compositions, resulting in distinctive pieces that are truly one of a kind.
