JulieDesilets commented 1 year ago

Font Project Git Repo URL: Radio-Canada Display

Super short description of the Font Family: Addition of Radio-Canada Display to the Radio-Canada Family font, mostly used for titling purposes is offered in Medium, Medium Italic, Bold and Bold Italic.

Addition of this line under «About» section, after the words «Indigenous languages»: , and Etienne Aubert Bonn (Coppers and Brasses) completed the family by creating the title font Display.

Requirements:

Google Fonts will publish only fonts that match its requirements. Please familiarize yourself with the complete documentation in the Google Fonts Guide (GF-Guide) and ensure your font project complies with them before submitting the font family. You can also use the Google Fonts Project Template, which will help you create a repository that follows the needed structure and includes build requirements.

By filling this issue, you can confirm the project meets the requirements (by ticking the cases or putting x between the square brackets in text mode):

Attach here a pic or a screenshot of the font. One image is enough, it can be a few letters, to give a quick overview. RadioCanada_Display.zip

Thanks! Should this have a new Git repository similar to https://github.com/cbcrc/radiocanadafonts ?

Something like https://github.com/cbcrc/radiocanadadisplay for example.

Hi @eliheuer the second link produces a page 404 ;-/ sorry if I am not very familiar to Git repository ;)

eliheuer commented 1 year ago

We need to figure out where the files should live to move forward, they could be added to the Radio-Canada repository here: https://github.com/cbcrc/radiocanadafonts, or a new repository could be made specifically for Radio-Canada Display. A separate repository might be easier to work with if this is a separate font from Radio-Canada. Look at how Playfair and Playfair Display are separate fonts on Google Fonts for example:

https://fonts.google.com/specimen/Playfair+Display https://fonts.google.com/specimen/Playfair

I don't see any source files in the RadioCanada_Display.zip, and source files will be needed.

Ho! I undestand. Better to include the specimen into the RadioCanada, instead of creating RadioCandaDisplay. Strange for the zip file, you can upload herehttps://drive.google.com/file/d/1sDx9wuSgSr0zp-ZC81r3s9DeCJhEPQx9/view

Hello @eliheuer! Can only find the variable version on the site, are the OTF not offered... I do remember we could download the Regular family and the Condensed family https://fonts.google.com/specimen/Radio+Canada?query=radio+canada+

eliheuer commented 1 year ago

@JulieDesilets The downloaded zip file should have a folder called static with all the non-variable fonts included. They are in the ttf format, but that is almost exactly the same as otf, with very minor technical differences.

Looking at the files from the zip provided above, the display style is very different from the regular Radaio-Canada typeface. That is fine, just something I'm noticing and making a note of. It looks like it was developed by the same studio (Coppers & Brass) though. I couldn't find any information about this style online.

Yes @eliheuer it is indeed in the static file upon download, but no mention of the Condensed on the specimen page. Anyway way to show it as much as the Regular family (shown in variable) and the Display ?

Yes the Display is quite different but respects a few styling patterns of the RC Regular.

Coppers & Brasses didn't mention it specifically on their website yet, but it is the same foundry and typeface designer who worked on this new family.

Hi @eliheuer and @RosaWagner just making a followup on the processing of the Display addition to our Google Font... thank you!

Hi @JulieDesilets I still do not have source files from you in .ufo or .glyphs format. Do source files exist for this project and do you have access to them?

I still do not have access to this Google Drive, but I requested it again today: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1sDx9wuSgSr0zp-ZC81r3s9DeCJhEPQx9/view?usp=sharing

This zip file only contains .otf fonts with their diacritics decomposed: https://github.com/google/fonts/files/12307182/Radio-Canada.Display.zip

It would be possible to try onboarding Radio Canada Display using only the .otf files provided in that zip file, but it would be more work and produce worse results than if the source files were available.

Also, the files from the above .zip file only contain a Medium - Bold weight range, is that correct? Radio-Canada ranges from light to Bold.

Thanks, just let us know where the source files are, or if there are no source files and this can move forward.

Hello Eli,

After speaking with the foundery, they provided the source file requested, so please find attached the UFO version of the Display font.

Thank you,

hello @eliheuer do you have any news regarding the Radio-Canada Display Font? I've send the source files on Oct 17, but adding it here: RadioCanada_Display.zip

chrissimpkins commented 9 months ago

Thanks for the update Julie. We're attempting to identify someone who can take the onboarding on. This might not fit into Q1 as we have a reduced number of onboarders this year. I wanted to make sure that you are aware that it is in the queue.

JulieDesilets commented 9 months ago

Thanks for the update Chris. Dave Crossland mentionned to me that i could be in Q2, so please let me know when you have a better view of your bandwidth.

chrissimpkins commented 9 months ago

@JulieDesilets quick update:

@emmamarichal will take over the onboarding here. We have it tentatively slated in Q1. We'll do our best to fit it in.
