Georgian Font

Open type typographic features for enhanced typography modern Georgia is written with the Mkhedruli alphabet. there is no uppercase/lowercase distinction. In titles and headlines the characters are usually shown thicker and stretched so that they are uniform in height. 

Mkhedruli developed in tenth centyry from an earlier manuscript alphabet called Nuskuri. Today Nuskhuri is used only for liturgical purposes. Prior to Unicode version 4.1, Nuskhuri occupied the same codepoints as Mkhedrui. With version 4.1. Nuskhuri has its own rande.

Nuskhuri developed from yet an older, inscriptional alphabet called asomtavruli that was in use from 5th to 9th centyry.
