Diwani

I'm Diwani — born in the Ottoman court for official decrees. My letters interweave, my baseline dances, my spacing closes up tight. I look ornamental even when I'm doing serious work, which is why you mostly see me on invitations, certificates, and decorative headings today.

Visual Character

Diwani is recognized by its dense, flowing letterforms, tight spacing, and strong sense of movement, often with dramatic curves and interwoven strokes. The baseline can feel lively rather than rigid, and the overall texture tends to look ornamental even when the text is functional. Because of its visual richness and ceremonial character, Diwani is often used today in invitations, certificates, and decorative headings rather than long body text.
