What Makes the NBR Glyphs Set Special?

A Typographic Framework

By using the NBR Glyphs Set as a foundation, NBR Type Foundry ensures every font meets a consistent level of quality and utility. It’s not just about creating beautiful type—it’s about ensuring that type is functional, versatile, and accessible for a variety of uses.

In addition to language support, the NBR Glyphs Set includes symbols and ligatures that enhance the quality of text design. This ensures that typefaces built on this standard can handle not just words, but also the subtle intricacies of great typography.

Why Language Support Matters

A well-designed glyph set like NBR does more than provide the right characters—it connects people. With its broad language range, it enables designers and typographers to create text that speaks to communities in their own tongue, whether they’re reading in Buginese, Comorian, or Icelandic.

By standardizing this level of language inclusion across all its fonts, NBR Type Foundry makes it clear: typography is about communication, and communication should be universal.

In short, the NBR Glyphs Set is more than just a collection of glyphs—it’s a statement of typographic intent, setting the stage for fonts that are as functional as they are beautiful.
