This is an amazing project!

I am the program manager for Google Fonts and I would love to invite you to include this project in the Google Fonts library.

However, the MIT license for libre software is not ideal for fonts, because of its notice requirements. The SIL Open Font License is designed for the specific and unique use cases of fonts, and is required for Google Fonts.

I'm just as happy to schedule a video call if you'd like to discuss this further, as on this issue :)

Hi @davelab6,

The font is now licensed under SIL Open Font License 🚀, see commit: f2964e5cbe4df7f820e7a491c064b77c86d32be6

Thank you so much for your interest! I’m more than happy to have this project included in the Google Fonts Library. Let’s utilize this issue for discussion first, but please feel free to let me know whenever you feel a need to switch to other communication means, thanks!
