The Cypriot Syllabary
A mainly right to left script. In the Unicode Standard, codes U+10800‥U+1083F.
...
One of the best efforts to date is George Douros’s Aegean, which also contains the necessary Aegean numbers, U+10100‥1013F. Several different script styles are present, accessible via OpenType Stylistic Sets. NB: use version 9.17 from 201781 from 2018, which can be downloaded from archive.org; this is the last version of this font that can be used freely.
ISO 15924 Script Code
The ISO 15924 script code is Cprt.
...
Most texts written in the Cypriot syllabary are in the Greek language. These texts should have the language code grc (Greek language up until 1453); language code taken from the IANA Language Subtag Registry.

url('

Aegean.
...
woff2')
...
format('
...
woff2')
...
, url('Aegean.woff')
...
format('woff')
...
; font-style:
...
normal;
...
font-weight:
...
normal;
...
text-rendering:
