Noto Serif Khojki
Noto Serif Khojki brings a modulated, serif-flavoured treatment to the Khojki script, a Sindhi writing system historically used for religious and commercial manuscripts. The design balances documentary accuracy against the needs of screen rendering.

Khojki has a small surviving corpus, so the drawing process was as much archival as it was typographic. Manuscript scans supplied the skeleton; the contrast model and the vertical metrics had to be invented for contexts the script never originally served.
The result is a face that can set a scholarly footnote and a museum wall label from the same file. Mark positioning is handled through OpenType rather than by baking marks into base glyphs, which keeps the script correct when the text is edited or restyled.
