Description
Sharada is an important historic and currently minority script used in the Northernmost parts of India.
The current Noto Sharada font has multiple issues relating to design, orthography, glyph shapes, support of conjuncts etc thus is unusable.
Sharada is a historic Indic script which has never enter print and has complex orthography with contextual forms, wide range of conjuncts, similar looking confusables/ near homoglyphs, variants etc.
The Noto font is currently designed in mono-linear Sans style, however traditionally Sharada is written with modulated strokes in Manuscripts.
With the new Noto decision of Making fonts in Serif style if the script has been written only in Serif style traditionally ( for ex Noto Serif Dogra, Tibetan, Ahom, Noto Sans Siddham etc).
Thus now font can be first designed in Serif style.
I had previously shared resources on Sharada over email to the Noto team.
I/We can help in the orthography, correctness, script related resources etc during the development of the font as an expert in the script.
