"WebFont" updated November 12th, 2018

I have been working on my "WebFont" for quite a long time, now. It was submitted to the Google Fonts catalog on March 28th, 2018.
This is a modular vector font in TrueType format. It is distributed under the SIL OpenFont License, which is a very liberal license. You just can't sell it alone, as it is a free font (though you are allowed to include it as a bonus font for a collection of fonts) and I retain my Copyright for the original work should you create a new, derivative font from it.
If you do create a derivative font, under the Open Font License you should use a new reserved font name and keep it under the same SIL OFL license. The font is documented with ways in which you could edit the font, including with free editors.
You can also convert the font to other platforms, should you be required to do so, as long as the integrity of the font remains intact.
Otherwise you can use it commercially, or for personal projects (to style text in documents, presentations, on the web, in advertising, apps or e-books). You can use it to create new works (such as logos, quotes, slogans, etc...) and even sell the resulting art, no attribution is required.
For the complete OFL license, see the included License.txt document included in the archive, or visit:

I called it "WebFont" because that is specifically what it was designed as, a font for web use. I am also rebelling against Google, Microsoft, Bing, Yahoo and Apple (as well as others) who are constantly using generic names for their products ("Photos", "Gallery", "Sites", "Search", "X", "Directory"), yet they punish the websites and apps that use generic names.
I am a web designer, myself.

Today I have finally updated WebFont to the point where I feel it is usable. I still have more work to do, but currently it is intended as a headline/title web font (think H1, H2 and H3 tags in HTML) with support for multiple languages and a few Dingbats for the UI (which I intend to improve and expand upon later in 2019).
Latin Basic -DONE
Latin-1 Supplement -DONE
Latin Extended A -DONE
Latin Extended B -Started (To be completed in 2019)
+Some:
General Punctuation
Currency Signs
Dingbats
Glyphs: 618
I did not keep track of the number of Kerned pairs, but I did possibly every combination of A-Z & a-z (not just capitals against capitals, or lowercase against lowercase; but capitals against lowercase, in all combinations) plus some symbols (like in a URL).
There are plenty of currency signs and symbols, as well as general punctuation, as well.
