Broken Cursive Script

Earlier broken cursive has elongated letters, such as kaf (the first letter from the right side), which sets above the baseline. The letter, nun (the last letter in the sentence), descends from the baseline and stays there. The broken cursive is angular and more diagonal than Naskh.
