Custom Arabic calligraphy for your book's title or cover wordmark — delivered as a standalone art file your cover designer or publisher places into the finished layout. Not a full cover design service.
Every commission reviewed personally by Ata Rafi, Founder and Chief Formatter — the same person behind Format Fix's Quranic and Islamic-text typesetting work. See 200+ typeset books in the portfolio →
Request A Free QuoteA Standalone Title Or Wordmark File — Not A Finished CoverThis is a single piece of custom Arabic lettering — usually your book's title, author name, or a decorative element — drawn or digitally rendered in a specific calligraphy style. It's delivered as its own file, ready to be placed into a cover layout by you, your publisher, or a cover designer. It is not a laid-out front cover, back cover, or spine design.
One custom lettering file for a title or wordmark, sized and formatted to drop into an existing or in-progress cover layout.
Complete front/back/spine layout, imagery, typography system, and print packaging — a separate discipline Format Fix does not offer.
Arabic lettering for a business name, brand mark, or general branding use — a different buyer intent than a one-time book title.
Each traditional Arabic calligraphy style carries its own visual character and historical association — the right one depends on what kind of book it's going on, not just personal taste.
Clear, rounded, highly legible — the same script family standard printed Arabic type is based on. Suits a Quranic commentary, hadith collection, or scholarly nonfiction title where the words themselves need to read clearly at a glance.
Ornamental, sweeping curves historically used for monumental and formal inscriptions. Suits a religious nonfiction title or a prestige edition wanting visual gravitas over plain legibility.
A dense, flowing Ottoman chancery script with heavy flourish. Suits a diwan, poetry collection, or literary title where the calligraphy itself is part of the artistic statement.
The earliest Arabic script style, geometric and angular. Suits a contemporary or minimalist cover design where a bold, modern-looking mark matters more than a genre-literal association.
A specific style recommendation is discussed as part of your quote — genre, title length, and how the finished art needs to sit on the cover all factor in. Not sure which fits? Send your title and cover concept when requesting a quote and a style is recommended before any work begins.
Most Arabic calligraphy for book covers is sold bundled — either folded into a full cover-design package, or genericized into a "logo and calligraphy" gig aimed at branding clients, not authors.
If you already have a cover designer, or you're designing the cover yourself, a bundled package forces you to pay for layout work you don't need just to get the one calligraphy element.
Vector-First, So The Art Scales To Any Cover Size. Delivered vector-first so the calligraphy resizes cleanly for a paperback cover, a hardcover wrap, or an eBook thumbnail without losing sharpness — no re-drawing needed if the trim size changes.
A Wrong Diacritic Or Careless Script Choice Misrepresents The Text. An Arabic calligraphy piece for a Quranic commentary, hadith collection, or other religious title carries more risk than decorative lettering on a generic cover — the wrong diacritic, an inappropriate stylistic liberty, or a script that reads as careless can misrepresent the text it's meant to honor.
Format Fix's calligraphy work is produced by the same formatter responsible for its Quranic text formatting with full tashkeel and Tajweed precision — the same attention to correct diacritics and appropriate script use applies here, not just in the interior layout. See that same standard applied across 200+ books in the portfolio.
Authors who want a genuine calligraphy title treatment instead of a generic Arabic font set in a design program.
Publishers producing an Arabic, Urdu, or bilingual title who need the cover's title lettering handled by someone who understands the script.
English-language cover designers who need one correctly rendered Arabic calligraphy asset to drop into a cover they're already building.
Just the calligraphy. This service delivers a standalone title or wordmark art file — full cover layout and design is a separate discipline Format Fix doesn't offer.
It depends on genre: Naskh for clear, readable religious or scholarly titles, Thuluth for formal or prestige nonfiction, Diwani for poetry and literary work, and Kufic for a modern, geometric look. A specific recommendation is discussed as part of your quote.
Yes — the calligraphy is delivered as a vector file plus a print-resolution transparent PNG, both compatible with a designer's own software or a standard KDP or IngramSpark cover template.
A vector source file (AI, EPS, or SVG), a print-resolution raster file, and a transparent-background PNG — covering print, digital, and direct-placement use cases.
Usage terms are agreed before the commission begins — the artwork is licensed for use on your book's cover across print and digital editions, confirmed upfront rather than left ambiguous.
Yes — this work is produced by the same formatter behind Format Fix's Quranic text formatting, with the same attention to correct diacritics and appropriate script choice for religious content.
Cost is quoted on style, text length, and revision rounds — not a flat rate. See Pricing & Quote for how projects are scoped.
