+
+PREAMBLE
+The goals of the Open Font License (OFL) are to stimulate worldwide

+with others.
+
+The OFL allows the licensed fonts to be used, studied, modified and
+redistributed freely as long as they are not sold by themselves. The
+fonts, including any derivative works, can be bundled, embedded, 
+redistributed and/or sold with any software provided that any reserved
+names are not used by derivative works. The fonts and derivatives,
+however, cannot be released under any other type of license. The
+requirement for fonts to remain under this license does not apply
+to any document created using the fonts or their derivatives.

+# Noticia Text
+
+Main repository for Noticia Text font by JM Solé
+
+### Basic Font Information
+
+Noticia Text is a contemporary humanist slab serif typeface 
+designed to be used for running text on digital newspapers 
+(both on websites and mobile apps). It has a large x-height, 
+ample proportions, big serifs and large apertures that allow 
+the letters to be clear, even at small sizes on low 
+resolution screens. The capitals are unusually small, 
+allowing them to be used as substitutes for small caps. 
+(Its recommended to add some tracking if used in 
+this way.)
+
+One major feature is the break in the internal curves of 
+round characters. While this break makes some interesting 
+forms at large sizes, their true purpose is to help 
+make the counterforms more open at small sizes by allowing 
+straighter stems. This reasoning is famously known as
+W.A. Dwiggins' “M-formula.”
+
+The italics were designed to contrast with the roman 
+styles while maintaining good legibility. The true italic 
+forms also have big counterforms and simple curves.
+
+The fonts have been manually hinted to get the best 
+possible rasterization in Windows.
+
+The Noticia font family project is envisioned as 18 different 
+fonts styles, with text, condensed, display and sans 
+variants, different weights and including italic versions, 
+all designed and hinted to work well on computer and 
+mobile devices screens.
