Also known as Tatwil, ـ

Kashida or kasheeda (, ), also known as tatweel or tatwīl (), is a type of justification in written Arabic scripts, in which the line connecting letters is extended. In contrast to white-space justification, which increases the length of a line of text by expanding spaces between words or individual letters, kasheeda creates justification by elongating characters at certain points. Kasheeda justification can be combined with white-space justification.
