Noto Sans Samaritan specimen from Google Fonts

A specialist Noto font enabling accurate digital rendering of the Samaritan script, one of the world's oldest continuously used writing systems.

About

Noto Sans Samaritan supports a living yet extremely rare script used by fewer than a thousand people in religious and cultural contexts, making it one of the more remarkable inclusions in the Noto project. The font is designed for correctness and Unicode conformance rather than aesthetic expression. It serves scholars of Semitic languages, biblical studies researchers, and digital archivists documenting Samaritan cultural heritage.

Classification

A Noto family font covering the Samaritan script, an ancient Semitic writing system still used liturgically by the Samaritan community. Drawn with consistent neutral strokes in line with the Noto system's approach to minority and historical scripts.
