All of those glyphs are available in seven weights, so we’re talking about more than 450,000 glyphs here - a huge number compared to your average Latin font. Just like with the first project, Adobe font designer Ryoko Nishizuka worked on the overall design of the font and the company then worked with a number of local foundries in China, Japan and Korea to finish all of the 65,535 glyphs that make up the full font (which also includes Latin, Cyrillic and Greek glyphs based on Source Serif). Adobe calls this new font Source Han Serif, while Google calls it Noto Serif CJK. Today, the two companies are expanding on this project with the launch of a serif CJK font.

A few years back, Adobe and Google teamed up to launch a new open-source font for Chinese, Japanese and Korean (CJK) languages.
