FONTLOG for Work Sans

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

Basic Font Information

‘Work Sans’ fonts are a set of fonts supporting Latin. They are designed for body text and display text on for on-screen reading.

Note: There are no UFOs as UFOs exported from Glyphs App will currently not generate in Robofont and so on due to using 'Bracket trick' and 'Brace trick' to solve interpolation bumps. Glyphs marked orange are bracket layers and glyphs marked yellow are using brace layers.

There is a Telugu glyph set (Work Sans-Telugu.glyphs) that comes from Ramabhadra 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. The Latin glyphs in Work Sans-Telugu.glyphs are out of date.

Information for Contributors

Work Sans is released under the OFL 1.1 - http://scripts.sil.org/OFL

For information on what you're allowed to change or modify, consult the OFL-1.1.txt and OFL-FAQ.txt files. The OFL-FAQ also gives a very general rationale and various recommendations regarding why you would want to contribute to the project or make your own version of the font.
