'Work Sans' (former working title 'Alice')

A SIL Open Font project titled 'Work Sans' (former working title 'Alice') for Latin and Telugu.
A SIL Open Font project titled 'Work Sans' (former working title 'Alice') for Latin.
Work Sans is a superfamily based loosely on early Grotesques — i.e. [Stephenson Blake](https://www.flickr.com/photos/stewf/14444337254/), [Miller & Richard](https://archive.org/stream/printingtypespec00millrich#page/226/mode/2up/) and [Bauerschen Giesserei](https://archive.org/stream/hauptprobeingedr00baue#page/109/mode/1up). There will be 9 weights across 5 widths. The core of the fonts are optimised for on-screen medium-sized text usage (14px-48px) but still very usable in print. The fonts closer to the extreme widths and weights are designed more for display use. Overall, features are simplified and optimised for screen resolutions for example, diacritic marks are larger than how they would be in print.

The project started in June 2014 and the brief was to have a [minimum viable product](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minimum_viable_product) (alpha release with 9 weights) by December 2014.
The Telugu glyph set comes from [Ramabhadra](http://teluguvijayam.org/fonts.html) by Silicon Andhra. Glyphs marked red in the file are those that have been manually cleaned up, the rest are automatically cleaned up with FontForge from Ramabhadra.
