About
Noto Sans Inscriptional Parthian is part of Google's Noto project, which aims to eliminate tofu — missing character boxes — across all scripts. This face supports the right-to-left Inscriptional Parthian script, an ancient writing system used across the Parthian Empire. Its use case is essentially limited to academic texts, historical research, and digital heritage projects.
Classification
Designed specifically to render the ancient Inscriptional Parthian script used in stone and metal inscriptions from the Arsacid Empire. The design is minimal and functional, supporting a script with very limited modern use.
