Font Project Git Repo URL:

https://github.com/SorkinType/Menbere

Super short description of the Font Family:

Along with #8913 I'm filing an issue to add Menbere published by Sorkin Type Co (@EbenSorkin), which has a customized version of Noto Sans Latin included.

An independent reviewer wrote: "This could feel nice for a novel or menu. It will be less formal, yet friendly. The old fashioned feeling was when reading it in .pdf format with long form text, but it wasn't as strong when I read it on a web UI. There were no readability or legibility issues I have found."

Requirements:

Eben has confirmed the project meets the following requirements:

  • The entire font project is available in a Github repository (repo) and licensed under the OFL
  • The source files are available in the repo
  • I am the sole copyright author of the entire project, or, all other copyright authors have licensed their work to me under the OFL
  • There are no "Reserved Font Names" in the OFL license information, or in the project documentation of any known upstream projects. If there are RFNs, they are not used in whole or in part in this family name, or, I want to discuss how Google can work with my use of them.
  • The family name is unique according to namecheck.fontdata.com
  • The font supports at least the Google Fonts 'Latin Core' glyphset from github.com/googlefonts/glyphsets (direct link)
  • The repo has the Google Fonts preferred upstream repo structure
  • I have read, agree with, and comply with, the full Google Fonts contributing requirements
  • I will maintain the repository and participate in the onboarding process (addressing, solving, and responding to issues, merging pull requests, etc)
