About Registan Madrasah Tilework
The Registan ensemble in Samarkand — the madrasahs of Ulugh Beg, Sher-Dor, and Tilla-Kari — is sheathed in cobalt and turquoise majolica. White-and-gold star-and-tendril girih and turquoise stars are laid across a deep lapis ground, banded with monumental Kufic and Thuluth calligraphy.
This system distills that saturated, devotional density into digital form: a lapis-cobalt page, vivid turquoise tessellation, luminous gold and white accents, and angular Kufi banding paired with cursive Naskh and a Latin serif.
