FONTLOG for the Merriweather font
|
|
|
|
This file provides detailed information on the Merriweather
|
|
font Software.
|
|
|
|
This information should be distributed along with the
|
|
Merriweather fonts and any derivative works.
|
|
|
|
Basic Font Information
|
|
|
|
Merriweather is a low-contrast semi-condensed-serif typeface family
|
|
designed to be readable at very small sizes. Merriweather is
|
|
traditional in feeling despite the modern shapes it has adopted for screens.
|
|
|
|
Merriweather is an evolving project and will be updated. As of now there are 5
|
|
styles: Regular, Light, Bold, and Black Roman and Italic styles.
|
|
|
|
There is also Merriweather Sans, a sans-serif version which closely
|
|
harmonizes with the weights and styles of this serif family.
|
|

|
|
|
|
Designed by Eben Sorkin, Merriweather features a very large x height,
|
|
slightly condensed letterforms, a mild diagonal stress, sturdy serifs and open
|
|
forms.
|
|
|
|
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.

Merriweather is a Unicode typeface family that supports
|
|
languages that use the Latin script and its variants, and
|
|
could be expanded to support other scripts.
|
|
|
|
More specifically, this release supports the following Unicode
|
|
ranges: Latin-1, Latin-2: Eastern Europe, Turkish,
|
|
Macintosh Character Set and Adobe Latin 3 character set.
|
|
|
|
There are four source files for each style:
|
|
|
|
1. Merriweather-Style.vfb Original Source Files with
|
|
contour overlaps
|
|
|
|
2. Merriweather-Style-OTF.sfd Merged contours and
|
|
optimized file corresponding to the OTF file
|
|
|
|
3. Merriweather-Style.otf PostScript outlines OTF-CFF font.
|
|
|
|
4. Merriweather-Style-TTF.sfd TrueType outlines with
|
|
hinting adjustments corresponding to the TTF file
