Noto: A CJK Font That is Complete, Beautiful and Right for Your Language and Region
Blog post from Google Cloud
Noto Sans CJK is a free, high-quality Pan-CJK font family developed by Google in collaboration with Adobe, designed to enhance the reading experience for Chinese, Japanese, and Korean (CJK) users by providing a unified yet aesthetically pleasing representation of each language's unique script. This sans serif typeface, released as part of Google's Noto font family and Adobe's Source family, supports a wide array of characters, including tens of thousands of ideographic characters, Japanese kana, and Korean Hangeul, ensuring each script retains its distinctive look while harmonizing with others. Available in seven weights, Noto Sans CJK is suitable for various digital platforms, including user interfaces and electronic books, and is freely accessible under the Apache License, version 2.0. The collaboration involved significant contributions from Google and Adobe, alongside the expertise of three leading East Asian type foundries, to address the extensive requirements of supporting diverse language systems and to further Google's mission of organizing global information accessibly.
