Super short description of the Font Family: Nsibidi (also known as nsibiri, nchibiddi or nchibiddy) is an ancient system of graphic communication indigenous to the Ejagham peoples of southeastern Nigeria and southwestern Cameroon in the Cross River region. It is also used by neighboring Ibibio, Efik and Igbo peoples.

The Nsibidi Libre typeface is a vehicle for cultural preservation, storytelling, and bridging the gap between ancient symbolic communication and modern typographic expression.

note: the name Nsibidi Libre is slated to change prior to release.

There are about 18 glyphs remaining that require completion in one or more masters (out of three). It looks like all of those are in the extended Latin African set.
