Google and Monotype unveil the Noto Project's unified font for all languages.
And all of it, Google and Monotype believe, would look better if it were visually unified.
At Monotype I met lots of customers together for informal lunches
or breakfast meetings and facilitated conversations using a mostly memorised discussion guide.
A month ago we told you, in this article, about the presence on the Youpin crowdfunding platform of the new Ninebot KickScooter electric Monotype.

While the Noto fonts are being released today, Monotype and Google said that this continues to be a work in progress,
with more scripts and weights getting added with subsequent Unicode standards.
Why is this typeface- based on Twentieth Century,

To be sure,
there was a degree of skepticism when Google and Monotype embarked on this project,
in my opinion well summed up in the words of Pakistani-American writer Ali Eteraz(quoted by NPR in 2014, when the project was already well underway):.
Google, in partnership with font specialist Monotype, has taken the wraps off the Noto Project,
a five-year collaboration between the two to create a typeface that applies to any language that now offers a single font style covering more than 800 languages and 100 writing scripts.
