Failing is a ripoff, it’s a classical design that’s been around for centuries – I forget where the original is. They’re not all GOOD typography and many seem to be made by the same person, but they’re certainly visually striking.
I just can’t help get a bit condescending about Arabic typography being suddenly all the rage in the West, leading people to rave over work that would seem uninteresting to those who actually work in the field.

I’ve never seen so many arabic designs before. These designs are amazing. I’m going to look into this more to see what else I can dig up. Good job buddy.
