Noto Sans Cuneiform
Google Fonts · Google · 2017
An extraordinary undertaking that brings digital type support to cuneiform, one of humanity's oldest writing systems.
About
Noto Sans Cuneiform is a landmark of Unicode font engineering, encoding thousands of wedge-based signs used across ancient Mesopotamia for over three millennia. Given the complexity and scale of the cuneiform repertoire, a single weight is the pragmatic choice, and the designs are best rendered at larger sizes. It is an indispensable resource for Assyriologists, historians, and digital humanities projects.
Classification
One of the most historically ambitious Noto families, covering cuneiform — one of the world's oldest writing systems with thousands of complex wedge-shaped characters. Single weight by necessity, optimised for legibility at display sizes given the intricate nature of cuneiform signs.
