Noto Sans Cypriot specimen from Google Fonts

A single-weight sans-serif enabling digital representation of the ancient Cypriot syllabary for scholarly purposes.

About

Noto Sans Cypriot provides Unicode-compliant coverage of the Cypriot syllabary, an ancient script used in Cyprus from roughly the 11th to the 4th century BCE. Its restrained sans-serif interpretation translates the angular, lapidary character of inscribed originals into a digitally legible form. Use cases are almost exclusively academic, encompassing epigraphy, ancient Greek studies, and digital humanities research.

Classification

Covers the ancient Cypriot syllabary, a Bronze Age script used to write Greek in Cyprus, as part of the Noto project. Single weight with careful attention to the angular, incised quality of the original inscriptions translated into a consistent sans-serif framework.
