Indus script font


Indus script font is a Private Use Areas font, developed by National Fund for Mohenjo-daro and launched on International Conference on Mohenjo-daro & Indus Valley Civilisation on 8 February 2017.

Development

The Indus Script Font was developed based on an Indus script corpus compiled by the prominent Sindhologist Asko Parpola in his research book Deciphering the Indus Script, Cambridge University Press,. There are 1839 signs on various seals found at Mohenjo-daro. These signs are used by researchers and archaeologists as image based. This font has been used in all kinds of computational word processors in text format. Mr. Amar Fayaz Buriro, a language engineer, and Mr. Shabir Kumbhar, a developer of fonts, were tasked by the National Fund for Mohenjo-daro to develop this font, and they completed this task and launched it at an international conference on Mohenjo-daro and the Indus Valley Civilization on 8 February 2017.
