DESCRIPTION:
The Noto project attempts to develop a unified set of typefaces for everything defined in Unicode, which is all open-source. Noto fonts are used daily by billions of people because they ship on every Android and ChromeOS device, and many designs have versions that are adjusted to work within the vertical space constraints of labels and buttons. Now, with coverage up to and including Unicode 12+ (for some scripts), the set is intended to be visually harmonized. This presentation provides insights into the never-ending strife to cover new and emerging scripts while at the same time improving the fonts from a quality point of view. We will also describe the Noto font creation process, from the design brief with letter-form characteristics to how the fonts are built and tested.
