About
Noto Serif Old Uyghur is a specialist tool for scholars, historians, and linguists working with Old Uyghur manuscripts and inscriptions. Available in a single weight, it prioritises accurate glyph representation over typographic range. Its inclusion in the Noto project reflects Google's commitment to encoding and rendering every living and historical script in Unicode.
Classification
Old Uyghur is a historical script written vertically from right to left, and this single-weight Noto face is among the only contemporary digital typefaces to support it. The design necessarily follows historical manuscript forms with minimal embellishment.
