Most probably invented by Mir Ali of Tabriz in the 14th or 15th  century.  It is a cursive script that is a combination of Naskh and Ta’liq styles and it’s often called the “Bridge of the Calligraphy Scripts.”

Unlike the Arabic scripts (Naskh, Thuluth, etc.), it follows naturals curves and provide more flexible movements featuring elongated horizontal strokes.

And, also unlike Arabic script, it is never written with vowels except with rare occasional hamza or shadda.
