About 18 million people write in Ethiopic, an African abugida read from left to right, where a character stands for a consonant together with its vowel. A font for it ends up as a big set of closely related forms that have to stay distinct at reading size.
Noto Serif Ethiopic is the modulated, serif design for the script in Google’s Noto collection, drawn by Monotype’s design team. Amharic and Tigrinya are the big languages it serves, along with Tigré and some Cushitic and Nilotic languages. Ge’ez, the language the script was first used for in Ethiopia and Eritrea between the 1st and 12th centuries, survives now as a liturgical language, so a church text set in it is as much a use as a newspaper.
The weights
9 of them, Thin at 100 to Black at 900. With so many closely related forms, our choice for running text is Regular or Medium; the Thin is for a large title, where the fine strokes have the size to hold up. Shaping support in the software is needed for the script to display correctly.
