Bannai is a script form of the
Islamic calligraphy. It was used primarily in
Iran in building
inscriptions. It is a kind of angular
Kufic script, which has
geometric forms like
square,
rhombus,
rectangular,
parallel and
crossed
lines. The foundation of Bannai script is the
horizontal and
vertical directions of the lines, which have equal thickness and completely fill the geometrical form.
