Noto Serif Dives Akuru
A rare single-weight serif preserving the endangered Dives Akuru script of the Maldives in digital form.
About
Noto Serif Dives Akuru is a highly specialised typeface serving linguists, historians, and cultural archivists working with a script that was historically used in the Maldives but has largely fallen out of everyday use. Its single weight reflects the limited scope of contemporary demand rather than any deficiency in the design. Like all Noto fonts, it is built to integrate with the broader family for multilingual documents.
Classification
Supports the Dives Akuru script, a rare historical script from the Maldives, in a single Regular weight. As one of the more obscure scripts in the Noto project, it fulfils a preservation role rather than a broad publishing function.
