Thanks! I briefly reviewed the source files and added this the the list of fonts to review for onboarding to Google Fonts.

Can you tell us more about the project? Do you plan to expand the weight range and continue development past version 1.0?

[eliheuer]

There is a TypeDrawers thread about this project, which is helpful for reviewing it: https://typedrawers.com/discussion/3575/liter-grotesque

[skugiz]

@eliheuer thank you! 🙏 a) On TypeDrawers there is an old project that I did not finish. And it has nothing to do with the current one, except for the name ;)

b) The letter was developed for the interfaces of the product in which I am currently working (examples in the screenshot). At this stage we are actively testing it in production

Now one style is enough for us to solve our problems. We do not plan to expand it with other styles in the next six months. In the future — yes, I would like to

[skugiz]

Already now, during testing, subtle points have been revealed: with the sign «y» «e» in small size, the numbers «1,0,2,5». We are going to fix it with a minor update in 1.003

We will continue testing the font over the next 2.5 weeks. And then there will also be little things that we did not take into account

Your review will obviously take several weeks/months. During this time, a couple of minor updates will definitely be released

All good. This looks good to me for inclusion based on the images posted and should be given a full review.

For reference, this is the full Cyrillic glyphset currently in the font:

@skugiz We reviewed this and it has been added to the queue for potentially onboarding early (Q1 2024) next year.

If you have not yet looked at the specifications and requirements in the Google Fonts documentation, you can find that here: https://googlefonts.github.io/gf-guide/

Me or someone else can help you with onboarding soon. If you have any questions, please ask them here.

[skugiz]

@eliheuer thanks. I studied the documentation on onboarding. There were no questions. I will wait for further information from you 🙌🏻

[skugiz]

vv-monsalve, 👋🏻! I see that my font was included in a possible addition to Q3. Tell me, is there anything you need from me?

[vv-monsalve]

Hi @skugiz! I've created a PR and opened some issues with feedback in your upstream repo.

[vv-monsalve]

We are waiting for the designer to work on the reported issues.

Great! @skugiz please take a look :)
