It is one of the most famous types of fonts that are rooted in the Naskh script, and it is called by this name because it is written with a pen that is drawn with a typeface the thickness of one third of the diameter of the pen, because it needs to be written with the letter of the pen and its thickness. It is one of the most difficult Arabic fonts in terms of rules and parallels, and it is characterized by flexibility, durability of installation and ingenuity of writing.

Etymology
The Arabs used to write in the tomar script, and the tomar was a specific and large paper, so it required that the calligrapher’s reed be proportional to the size of the paper. The width of the reed was 18 strands of Turkmen horse hair. But they saw that the line was wider than necessary, so they shortened a third of it and kept 12 hairs and called it the thirds line, after which they shortened the second third to 8 hairs and called it the third line.
