+ Andika is a sans serif, Unicode-compliant font designed especially for literacy use, taking into account the needs of beginning readers. + The focus is on clear, easy-to-perceive letterforms that will not be readily confused with one another. +

+

+ Starting with an initial draft of a basic lowercase Latin alphabet by Victor Gaultney, Annie Olsen refined the design and added over 4,700 glyphs, including a complete extended Cyrillic set. +

+

+ A sans serif font is preferred by some literacy personnel for teaching people to read. + Its forms are simpler and less cluttered than those of most serif fonts. + For years, literacy workers have had to make do with fonts that were not really suitable for beginning readers and writers. + In some cases, literacy specialists have had to tediously assemble letters from a variety of fonts in order to get all of the characters they need for their particular language project, resulting in confusing and unattractive publications. + Andika addresses those issues. +

+

+ The font has been upgraded in May 2022. This upgrade gives additional weight styles and expands the glyphset to support full Latin and Cyrillic characters sets. Rendering is also much improved. +

Nuosu is a single Unicode font for the standardized Yi script used by a large ethnic group in southwestern China. The traditional Yi scripts have been in use for centuries, and have a tremendous number of local variants. The script was standardized in the 1970's by the Chinese government. In the process of standardization, 820 symbols from the traditional scripts of the Liangshan region were chosen to form a syllabary.
