Frequently asked questions

What size do these print at?
Each print is drawn at standard A3 wall-art proportions with an even margin, so it prints clean at A3 or scales to A4.
Can I get a different phrase?
Yes — the direction field takes any phrase, and the same three named hands render it.
What's the difference between the three hands?
Thuluth is a flowing curved hand with tall ascenders, kufic is angular and geometric, and diwani is an ornamental cursive hand with dense curves — each with its own proportion system.
Is the script accurate?
Yes — the script is transcribed exactly, and no figure appears anywhere on the sheet.

About toile

This page is a showcase and a starting point: nine samples already rendered, three readings of the pack crossed with three styles, each shown at the size and ratio it was made for. Take any of them further on the wall with a few words, or ask for all nine again under your own direction; a sign-in keeps what you make, and it is free while Toile is new. The recipe behind each sample — the subject, the style, the palette, the framing — travels with the image rather than staying private to the render: it is in the alt text of every sample and in the page's own structured data, so a search engine reads the same handles a person would.
