Reyhan or Rayḥānī (Arabic: ریحان) is one of the six canonical scripts of Perso-Arabic calligraphy. The word Reyhan means basil in Arabic and Persian. Reyhan is considered a finer variant of Muhaqqaq script, likened to flowers and leaves of basil.cite-ref-1[1]

Rayḥānī was developed during the Abbasid era by Ibn al-Bawwab.cite-ref-2[2] Academic studies of Rayhani have included analytical study of the technical characteristics of Yaqut al-Musta’simi's method.cite-ref-3[3]
