Every Phags-pa letter in this font is drawn several times over. A letter changes shape with its place in a word, and the font’s positional features pick the right variant as you type, which is a large part of why it holds 713 glyphs for 420 characters.
The script had a short official life. Drogön Chögyal Phagpa, the Tibetan monk who served Kublai Khan as State Preceptor, devised it for the Yuan state, and it saw patchy use from 1269 to 1360 for 6 languages, Mongolian and Chinese among them, set in vertical columns.
Google Fonts added this unmodulated Noto design in November 2020. Next to the 56 Phags-pa characters it carries:
- a full Latin with the accented letters of western and central Europe, plus the brackets and punctuation of Chinese and Mongolian text
That is enough to put a romanized reading under each line of Phags-pa without switching fonts, and on an exhibition caption that is how we would use it.
