Google Fonts
Noto is a comprehensive font family developed by Google, designed to support all languages and writing systems encoded in the Unicode standard. The name "Noto" is derived from "no tofu," referring to the blank rectangles that appear when a character is not supported by a font. By covering over 1,000 languages and 162 writing systems, Noto aims to eliminate these "tofu" symbols, ensuring seamless and harmonious text rendering across diverse languages and scripts.
