Noto Sans Kawi
A structured Noto face for the ancient Kawi script, enabling digital rendering of a historically significant Southeast Asian writing system.
About
Noto Sans Kawi supports a script used across medieval Southeast Asia, particularly in Java and Bali, for inscriptions and manuscripts in Sanskrit and Old Javanese. Its inclusion in the Noto project ensures that Kawi texts can be displayed without character substitution in modern digital environments. The face is suited primarily to scholarly, archival, and cultural heritage applications rather than contemporary commercial use.
Classification
Designed to support the Kawi script, an ancient writing system from Southeast Asia used historically for Sanskrit and Old Javanese texts, rendered with clean structured strokes consistent with the Noto design language. Four weights offer modest typographic flexibility for an archaic script.
