Noto is a free font family comprising over 100 individual computer fonts, which are together designed to cover all the scripts encoded in the Unicode standard. As of November 2024[update], Noto covers around 1,000 languages and 162 writing systems.[1] As of October 2016[update], Noto fonts cover all 93 scripts defined in Unicode version 6.1 (April 2012), although fewer than 30,000 of the nearly 75,000 CJK unified ideographs in version 6.0 are covered. In total, Noto fonts cover over 77,000 characters,[2] which is around half of the 149,186 characters defined in Unicode 15.0 (released in September 2022).
The Noto family is designed with the goal of achieving visual harmony (e.g., compatible heights and stroke thicknesses) across multiple languages/scripts. Commissioned by Google, the font is licensed under the SIL Open Font License.[3] Until September 2015, the fonts were under the Apache License 2.0.[4]
