Currently the default is the roundhand style, which is to flourish and does not work well wit the rest of Noto Sans Math:

The chancery style seems to be a better fit:

Are there plans to create entirely new roundhand/chancery glyphs from scratch, to match the unmodulated design of Noto Sans? Same question for Fraktur.

For example, Concrete Math OTF uses unmodulated design for calligraphic, similar to lxfonts by Claudio Beccari.

For Fraktur, one can take inspiration from Fraktur Modern https://fontmeme.com/fonts/fraktur-modern-font/.

Some unmodulated characters are also present in Free Sans.

I have thought about Fraktur indeed, but no concrete plans, but there are few “modern” Frakturs to take inspiration from. It would make sense for script as well, but also no concrete plans (the existing chancery style is incomplete as well, so either way new glyphs need to be drawn).

Is there a way to automatically get the unmodulated design for the Chancery/Script/Fraktur glyphs from the existing ones? I mean is there some feature in some font editor which allows to just make the strokes of the glyph of constant width, with the skeletal form of the design remaining the same?
