About:
Noto Sans Old Persian is a Unicode-compatible font designed to render the Old Persian cuneiform script used in ancient Achaemenid inscriptions. It provides accurate glyphs for all Old Persian Unicode characters, enabling proper display of historical texts. This font is part of the comprehensive Noto font family, ensuring harmonious typography across diverse languages and scripts.
Key Features:
  • Complete Unicode coverage for Old Persian cuneiform
  • Harmonized design within the Noto Sans font family
  • Optimized for clear on-screen rendering and legibility
  • Free and open-source licensing
