Attributes[edit source]

Required[edit source]

name
Name of the typeface. Please be specific so the font preview works well.
style
Style of the typeface: Serif, Sans-serif, Script, Blackletter, Display, Symbol

Optional (Not required, but recommended)[edit source]

image
Image of name of the font, set in its own face. This is different than the sample attribute below.
SVG file format is recommended.
imagesize
Width of the image to display (default is 300px).
classifications
The Vox-ATypI classification for the typeface, such as "Humanist", "Didone", "Geometric", or "Lineal humanist".
creator
Name of this font's designer(s), if known. Otherwise leave blank and fill in foundry name.
commissioned_by
Name of organization or individual who originally commissioned the typeface to be created.
foundry
The original distributor and license owners of the typeface.
Note: Monotype doesn't link to the foundry.
creationdate
The year the font was created.
releasedate
The year the typeface was first released, if different than the creation date.
foundries
The names of foundries that have re-issued the typeface in the same format or formats differing from the original, e.g., digital.
glyphs
The number of glyphs the font contains, or an estimate if not available.
characters
The number of unique characters; specify encoding if other than Unicode.
license
The license the font is published under, e.g. "OFL", "CC0", or "Proprietary".
based_on
Refers to the original design on which a revival, reinterpretation, homage or extension is based upon. This is not the same as a clone, for which the "aka" attribute should be used.
variations
List of alternate foundry type designs based on the letterforms of this typeface. For instance, "Garamond", "Adobe Garamond", and "ITC Garamond" are different designs, yet are all based on the same original typeface.
aka
Alternate (or imitation) names for other fonts based on this typeface. For instance, "Swiss 721" is Bitstream's name for its release of Helvetica.
metrically_compatible_with
A metrically compatible typeface, or a plainlist of such typefaces. Where the typeface has an article in Wikipedia, wikilink it. See this ArchWiki page for examples, but avoid linking clones lacking notability.
trademark
The owner of the font name, or the holder of the font's trademark.
sample
A sample of the font, displaying a single large character ("g"), the "quick brown fox" pangram, and a set of characters (A–Z, a–z, 0-9, basic punctuation).
SVG file format is recommended.
shown here
Names the version of the font pictured in the illustration.
sample_fullimage
A large sample image of the font, displaying its full character set (typically, the standard 256 glyphs of a TrueType font).
SVG file format is recommended.
website
The web site URL, if any, of the font.
Use {{URL|http://www.example.com}}
