ARABICFIX / AT THE WRITING DESK
Good Arabic starts with the details. Make the keyboard, the stroke and the final page work together.

What are you working on?
Three tasks. Considered choices.
01 / Arabic input
Start with the keyboard you already own. Add an Arabic input layout in your operating system and test it in a local text editor. Printed key legends are only a guide: the active software layout decides which character each key produces.

02 / Calligraphy practice
A broad edge makes contrast through its angle; a brush changes width with pressure. Follow the nib shape, cut direction and proportions required by the Arabic script you are learning. A round fountain-pen nib is not a substitute for a cut qalam.

03 / Text & print proofs
Check the words in their final context before a long print run. Arabic joining, diacritics, punctuation and mixed-script numbers can reveal font or direction problems that a heading alone will not show.

TYPE STUDY / 02
Read the joining, vowels, punctuation and the three numeral systems. The sample is editable in the text tools.

Page language does not change our product links: they start at Amazon.com (US). Amazon may redirect you to a participating local store through OneLink. Check the exact product, current price and delivery options at the destination; local matches and international delivery are not guaranteed.
AFTER THE PROOF
Different point sizes can help separate margin notes from small correction marks. Test the ink on your paper first. This is a fineliner set, not a cut nib for Arabic calligraphy.
