About Khatt
Khatt is a calm calligraphy game. Write Arabic letters and words with your finger, using a flat, cut nib like a real reed qalam: the line grows broad or fine with the direction you move, just as in Naskh.
Learn the way calligraphers do
- All 28 letters in every form: alone, at the start, middle and end of a word
- Numbered start points and arrows show each stroke's order and direction
- The dot is the ruler: an alif stands five rhombic dots tall, and a gold ladder beside the sheet shows the true height
- Joined letters flow in one stroke, then the extra parts, then the dots
A journey of 119 levels
- First strokes, teeth and loops, tall and round letters
- Joining, whole words, then everyday phrases and proverbs
- Review levels where the model fades: faint, then start points only, then from memory
Honest, helpful scoring
- A live meter and a glowing trail tell you when you are on the line
- "Clean stroke" when you nail it, a gentle note when a stroke is reversed or out of order
- Every sheet scored for coverage, accuracy, order and direction, smoothness, proportion and dots
- Finish before the wet ink dries for a bonus
