Noto Sans Psalter Pahlavi
Google Fonts · Google / Monotype · 2014
A highly specialised Noto font enabling digital rendering of Psalter Pahlavi, the script of Zoroastrian religious texts.
About
Noto Sans Psalter Pahlavi addresses an extremely narrow use case: the typesetting and digital display of Psalter Pahlavi, a cursive Aramaic-derived script used in medieval Zoroastrian liturgical manuscripts. Like all Noto fonts, it prioritises correctness and compatibility over stylistic ambition. It is indispensable for scholars, digital humanities projects, and institutions preserving Iranian religious heritage.
Classification
Part of the Noto project, this font covers Psalter Pahlavi — a Middle Persian script used primarily in religious manuscripts — alongside Latin. The glyphs follow the Noto family's neutral, regularised approach to complex script rendering.
