Noto Sans Old Sogdian specimen from Google Fonts

A highly specialised typeface reproducing the Old Sogdian script of ancient Central Asia for academic and archival purposes.

About

Noto Sans Old Sogdian ensures digital representation of a script associated with the merchants and diplomats of the ancient Silk Road, of primary interest to Central Asian historians and linguists. Its clean rendering captures the cursive, right-to-left structure of the original inscriptions as faithfully as a digital sans-serif form allows. Outside specialist scholarship, this typeface has virtually no practical application.

Classification

Supports Old Sogdian, an ancient script from Central Asia predating the more widely known Sogdian script, rendered with clean digital letterforms that reflect its cursive, right-to-left flow. Available in a single weight, it is purely a scholarly and archival typeface.
