Construct
Give the letterform a system.
Start with modular blocks, a configurable grid, and the structures that define the composition.
- Draw and erase directly on the grid
- Pan and zoom without a fixed page boundary
A purpose-built Kufic design environment
Design, refine, and export geometric Kufic compositions in a workspace created around the logic of the craft.

Specialist by design
General-purpose design applications make the grid an accessory. Khattat makes modular construction, spacing, grouping, and reuse the foundation of the workspace.
The result is a focused environment for studying letter structures, testing proportions, and carrying a finished composition into modern production.
From structure to output
Every stage stays on the same grid, so the geometry remains visible from the first block to the exported composition.
Construct
Start with modular blocks, a configurable grid, and the structures that define the composition.
Refine
Select an area, adjust it as a group, and reuse studied forms without rebuilding them from the beginning.
Export
Save an editable project, export a clean vector, or make a high-resolution image for presentation.
Tools stay at the edge of the canvas. The grid and the composition remain the center of attention.
Core instruments
The interface is narrow in purpose and deep where the craft requires control.
Navigate and construct without artificial page constraints. Center the work, zoom from 10% to 500%, and keep the grid continuous in every direction.
Pan / zoom / reset view / fullscreenStore reusable rasm forms by position, then place them directly into new studies.
Move, scale, rotate, and flip selections while the grid keeps construction exact.
Set grid visibility, color, and drawing order around the logic of modular Kufic.
Export clean SVG artwork for print, fabrication, and further design work.
Produce high-resolution PNG files for reviews, presentations, and publishing.
