Diwani outline
During my trip to Istanbul I realised that one of the artworks/handcrafts/souvenirs which tourists take/buy/consume in Istanbul is Diwani calligraphy which is a branch of Arabic/Persian calligraphy, & unfortunately lost of people can't read it any more because the official alphabet change in the turkey history & perhaps the change of education system ( may be after the fall of Ottoman empire! am I right?)
here is my attempt to copy the name of exociti in Persian with a bit of Diwani calligraphic seasonings vs Graffiti spray paint!
I know It might look terrible now but I'll keep practicing!

I read, it was developed to ovoid falsification of official papers. (16th and 17th century.)
so there might have been no use in modern red tape-situation ;-)))

I am allways astonished by those *strange codes*.
