Qur'an manuscript by Hattat Aziz Efendi.

This example is from the first page in the Quran  Manuscript by Hattat Aziz Efendi handwritten in the Naskh script. It is a smaller and rounded script. It was most commonly used in inscribing administrative documents and transcribing books, most importantly the Quran, because of its easy legibility.

​

Naskh is described as being a san-serif script. San-serif scripts in western typography and lettering are categorized by having no extending features called serifs. Similarly in Arabic type, it means that ascending and descending characters lack hooks.

​

The Naskh script also uses added glyphs above and below the letter which makes the script even more legible.
