Just to clarify I don’t think that first image is Kufic script, whereas the second is the shahada (author calls it the shada)

I’m not sure about the 2 kinds of scripts claim, I think there are a few more than that.

Not sure, I think first image is square or geometric Kufic (sometimes called "Satrancli Kûfi" in Turkish) of course looks quite different than typical Kufic script.

The problem is I don't think the first one says anything, which, however stylistic, is still the point of a script. If it doesn't actually make a meaningful expression then it's not a script. What word has 20 s's in it?
