	Kufi Style
		Kufi was the dominant priestly script in early times.
		With its glorious Handasi (geometrical) construction, Kufi could be adapted to any space and material -- from silk squares to the architectural monuments left by Timur at Samarqand.
		Because Kufi script was not subjected to strict rules, calligraphers employing it had virtually a free hand in the conception and execution of its ornamental forms.

	Kufi - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A kufi is a short rounded cap, traditionally worn by Muslims, although within the United States, it has become more commonly identified with persons of African descent, who wear it to show pride in their history and their religion.
		Often made of kente cloth or crocheted in a variety of yarns, kufis were popular fashion items throughout hip hop culture during the late-1980s/early-1990s.
		Kufis, therefore, are not a modern invention within the US-based Muslim community, but a tradition from antiquity.

		The script was called Kufi because it was thought to have been developed at Kufah in Iraq--an early Islamic centre of culture.
		Simple Kufi was developed early in the Islamic era; the earliest surviving copies of the Qur'an--from the 8th to the 10th century--were copied in it.
		It went out of general use about the 12th century, although it continued to be used as a decorative element to contrast with the scripts that superseded it.

	JS Online: School worker challenges kufi ban
		The issue is whether Fard Mohammed, a Muslim, should be allowed to wear a kufi while working as a hall monitor at Racine Case High School, which prohibits any hats as part of its policy against gangs.
		But he said he cannot accept that the kufi somehow would be construed as a gang symbol.
		But a key factor in this case, Scott said, is that by Mohammed's own admission, wearing the kufi is not a requirement of his faith.
