FONTLOG for Loligora
===================

This file provides detailed information on the Loligora font software. It
should be distributed along with the fonts and any derivative works.

Basic Font Information
----------------------

Loligora is a parametric variable sans-serif typeface, generated from Python
code (fontmake + fontTools) rather than drawn by hand. It ships as two
variable fonts, upright and italic, each with a weight axis (wght 100-950) and
nine named instances: Thin 100, ExtraLight 200, Light 300, Regular 400,
Medium 500, SemiBold 600, Bold 700, ExtraBold 800, Black 900 (the axis continues
to 950 for an even heavier weight).
The two fonts are linked by the STAT "ital" axis.

Version: 1.000 (release v1.0.0).
Designer: Charlie Champanhet

Name notice: a formal trademark check for "Loligora" is still needed before
public release.

Design Summary
--------------

A hybrid of neo-grotesque and superellipse sans. All round forms (o O 0 c C e
G Q, bowls of a b d g p q, D P R B, 6 8 9) are true superellipses with visible
flat sides, about halfway between near-ovals and squarish rounds. Everything
else follows neo-grotesque conventions: fairly closed apertures, horizontal
terminal cuts, low even stroke contrast, straight-legged R, spurred G, a tall
x-height, and uniform, rational widths. The italic is an oblique of about 9
degrees with curve correction: rounds are redrawn in slanted space instead of
just sheared.

Inter, Public Sans and Monda were consulted as inspiration and for comparison
only. No outlines were copied from them or from any other font.

Features
--------

- Tabular figures by default: digits are 580 units wide at every weight, in
  upright and italic, and maths and currency symbols share that width so
  columns of numbers align. Proportional figures (zero.pnum ... nine.pnum) are
  available through the "pnum" feature; "tnum" restores the tabular defaults.
- Kerning (kern): class-based and variable (interpolates across wght), with
  separate italic values.
- Mark positioning (mark, mkmk) from glyph anchors.
- Case (case): capital-height spacing accents and combining marks.
- Contextual alternates (calt): a combining mark after a capital switches to
  its capital-height form.
- Italic is a separate variable font (Loligora-Italic[wght]).

Character Set
-------------
