Opening keynote to TUG2020 was delivered by Steve Matteson, about the design of Noto fonts. In a number of discussions that ensued, this idea was developed and later presented at TUG2020. Hussain, designer of well-known fonts such as Rachana, Meera, Meera Inimai, TNJoy etc. The idea and its articulation of the talk originated with K.H. In TUG2020, I have presented a talk on some important Malayalam typeface design factors and considerations.
