Lisnoti
Lisnoti (/lɪzˈnəʊtiː/) is a free sans serif font for everyday use, with clear, unambiguous letters and coverage of Latin, Greek, Cyrillic and Devanagari character sets.
It is particularly strong for math, science and actuarial work, including typesetting equations.
If you’re interested in why Lisnoti exists, see this blog article.
Version 2.004 · regular, italic, bold and bold italic · free under the SIL Open Font Licence
Did you know that there is a special version of Lisnoti for programmers? See Lisnoti Code.

Key features
Lisnoti derives from Noto’s sans serif fonts, but with numerous amendments and, in some cases, wholesale redrawing to improve clarity, consistency and aesthetics.

Equations
Lisnoti has a full OpenType MATH table, which means it can be used to
typeset equations properly in LaTeX (using LuaLaTeX) and in Word (choose Lisnoti as the equation font).
The equations on this page are converted by Temml, a
small open-source library, and set by the browser from Lisnoti’s MATH table.
LuaLaTeX
With Lisnoti installed, use the following at the start of your LaTeX document to set the math font to Lisnoti. The last line ensures \mathcal produces the correct (chancery) capitals.
\usepackage{unicode-math}
\setmainfont{Lisnoti}
\setmathfont{Lisnoti}
\setmathfont{Lisnoti}[range=\mathcal, StylisticSet=1]
The second line of the snippet sets the main font to Lisnoti – delete the line if you don’t want that.
Every character
Lisnoti has over 5,700 characters. Pick a group, then point at or tap a character.
