Colvert

One of the finest multilingual fonts.

Colvert Arabic and Greek received the 1st Prize of their respective category in the 5th Granshan 2012 Competition.

x-height of the arabic line is rather small (no vowels or x to judge from of course :-)

But cyrillic and greek are stunning.

Plenty of documents where I have to mix Latin and polytonic Greek.

Would LOVE a free alternative of Colvert !!!

what can't I understand, how they know they created, exactly Colvert Indian hieroglyphics and not Bodoni, or Times for example??? ;)

There must be similar fora
like this one
yet with for instance Japanese glyphs in mind
instead of latin/cyrillic.

Japanese have even stronger traditional writing styles
like we have bodoni etc.

Japanese are very good at calligraphy, but I don't talking about that.
Talking about subjecting our fonts(latin, cyrillic) clear rules and categories.
We have, script, sanserif, serif, slab etc. These rules don't work for hieroglyphs.
So , why including some special glyphs in the font with a TM name and some very clear rules?
anyway it's not working for foreign typography and the The difference between fonts not seen:)
