Nohadra fonts are a bold, geometric, and (mostly) monospaced Syriac typeface.
The Nohadra Syriac Font family includes Syriac typefaces with square, block-like characters and uniform line thickness. This font offers a modern and minimalistic design and feel.

Currently, there is no CLI method for exporting font files, and thus must be exported by Glyphs.app.
Font kerning is also verified manually currently. Pay close attention to diacritic placement in the samples to note any changes made. The make command should be run for all changes as it will export the Glyphs.app fonts, proof them, and create new samples.
