This script is known as a subset of Naskh script and has gained a special place throughout the history of Iranian calligraphy. Mohaqiq script has been used in many ancient Iranian works of art and books due to its special characteristics. This script, which is known as one of the broken and precise scripts, was created in the 5th century AH during the Seljuk period and evolved in subsequent periods. This script is derived from Naskh script, but in it the letters are written with a more prominent shape and with more precise angles. Mohaqiq has been able to have a great impact on the field of Iranian calligraphy due to its structural elegance and beauty.
The structural characteristics of Mohaqiq script include letters with a proportional and balanced shape that at the same time have a special precision and elegance. In this script, the letters are designed neatly and at specific angles, so that the beauty of the lines and its readability are maintained at the same time.
