Noto Sans Old Persian
A single-weight typeface digitising Old Persian cuneiform for scholarly documentation and Unicode completeness.
About
Noto Sans Old Persian brings one of the ancient world's most recognisable scripts — the cuneiform of Achaemenid royal inscriptions — into digital typography. Its bold, wedge-shaped glyphs are visually arresting compared with most text typefaces, though its use is strictly confined to historical, archaeological, and academic contexts. It fulfils Google's Noto mission of ensuring no Unicode character is left without a rendered form.
Classification
Reproduces Old Persian cuneiform, the wedge-shaped script of the Achaemenid Empire, adapted into clean digital glyphs. The angular, pictographic nature of the script gives it a visually distinctive character wholly unlike alphabetic typefaces.
