Rosetta Type/Research

We’ve released a new version of Hyperglot 🚀
hyperglot.rosettatype.com

Hyperglot helps type designers and engineers understand the language support of their fonts.

This update brings a major reorganization, first shaping checks, faster performance, clearer sources, new licence, and option to sponsor the project. The database currently contains data for 852 languages.

Hyperglot is now split into two dedicated apps:

• Database — explore language support requirements
• Checker — test your fonts against those requirements

Separating the tools makes them clearer, faster, and easier to use depending on whether you’re researching languages or testing a font.
