Rayhani script
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Reyhan or Rayḥānī (Arabic: ریحان) is one of the six canonical scripts of Perso-Arabic calligraphy. The word Reyhan means basil in Arabic and Persian. Reyhan is considered a finer variant of Muhaqqaq script, likened to flowers and leaves of basil.[1]

Rayḥānī was developed during the Abbasid era by Ibn al-Bawwab.[2] Academic studies of Rayhani have included analytical study of the technical characteristics of Yaqut al-Musta’simi's method.[3]
