|
<p>Merriweather was designed to be a text face that is pleasant to read on
|
|
screens.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>Merriweather is an evolving project and will be updated. As of now
|
|
there are 4 styles: Regular, Light, Bold, and Black. There are now Italic
|
|
styles in each of these weights, too.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>There is also
|
|
<a href="http://www.google.com/fonts/specimen/Merriweather+Sans">Merriweather Sans</a>,
|
|
a sans-serif version which closely harmonizes with the weights and styles of
|
|
this serif family.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>Designed by Eben Sorkin, Merriweather features a very large x height,
|
|
slightly condensed letterforms, a mild diagonal stress, sturdy serifs and open
|
|
forms.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>Merriweather is a work in progress and will be improved regularly. This
|
|
means you can request improvements and even fund specific features if if they
|
|
are outside of the current scope of work. For more information and to stay
|
|

<p><strong>Updated in May 2013:</strong> Merriweather has been updated
|
|
with a larger character set, and Italic styles have been added for all
|
|
weights. (As one of the earliest families published in Google Web Fonts,
|
|
Merriweather lacked proper subsetting, so this update introduces a default
|
|
'latin' subset that contains less characters, but loads faster. <strong>To use
|
|
the full character set, update your API link to include the
|
|
<a href="https://developers.google.com/fonts/docs/getting_started#Subsets">'latin-ext'
|
|
subset</a></strong>.)</p>

|
<b>Updated in January 2016:</b>
|
|
A deep refresh of the design that makes all upright or roman styles darker, to improve on-screen rendering especially at text sizes with ttfautohint hinting.
|
|
Merriweather now supports Cyrillic, and will work better when installed on desktops.
|
|
Some OpenType features were added and improved.
|
|
Since the vertical and horizontal metrics changed, this may cause some text to reflow in some browsers.
|
|
A second minor update (v1.583) was made on January 25th to fix ligatures and other digraphs.
|
|
A third minor update (v1.584) was made on February 3rd to fix digraphcs in the Regular and improve the Cyrillic hinting.
