Description

**Font Project Git Repo URL:**

https://github.com/vegaprotocol/alpha-lyrae

**Super short description of the Font Family:**

A Blockchain project commissioned a single style brand font from FontFabric :)

> Alpha Lyrae is a typeface that personalises the innovative mindset of VEGA.
>
> It shows the cutting-edge impact on the trading process and the arising freedom unlocked by the power of blockchain technology. Unlike the calm horizontal terminals of the well-known Helvetica, our first proposal visualises terminal cuts following the natural stroke of the letters. This allows a significant increase in the letter apertures for efficient legibility. Moreover, it hints at the inclusiveness and transparency of this novel invention to the community across the world. Another noteworthy feature is the emphasised edgy terminals. They stir the classic appearance of Helvetica associated with old-fashioned concepts of many financial institutions out there and challenge us to think beyond the status quo. It’s safe to say, this proposal takes the best out of both worlds — the trustful reliable shapes of Helvetica and the critical rebellious ideas of modern visionaries.

It has an RFN.

**Requirements:**

By opening this issue, I confirm the project meets the following requirements:

- [ ] The entire font project is available in a Github repository (repo) and licensed under the [OFL](https://openfontlicense.org/open-font-license-official-text/)
- [ ] The source files are available in the repo
- [ ] I am the sole copyright author of the entire project, or, all other copyright authors have licensed their work to me under the OFL
- [ ] There are no "Reserved Font Names" in the OFL license information, or in the project documentation of any known upstream projects. If there are RFNs, they are not used in whole or in part in this family name, or, I want to discuss how Google can work with my use of them.
- [ ] The family name is unique according to [namecheck.fontdata.com](https://namecheck.fontdata.com/)
- [ ] The name of the font family expected to appear on app menus must be very clearly communicated and definitive. It should not include any copyright holder's full names or acronyms.
- [ ] The font supports at least the Google Fonts 'Latin Core' glyphset from [github.com/googlefonts/glyphsets](https://github.com/googlefonts/glyphsets) ([direct link](https://github.com/googlefonts/glyphsets/blob/main/data/results/txt/nice-names/GF_Latin_Core.txt))
- [ ] The repo has the [Google Fonts preferred upstream repo structure](https://googlefonts.github.io/gf-guide/upstream.html)
- [ ] I have read, agree with, and comply with, the full [Google Fonts contributing requirements](https://googlefonts.github.io/gf-guide/index#pre-production-getting-your-fonts-ready-for-gf)
- [ ] I will maintain the repository and participate in the onboarding process (addressing, solving, and responding to issues, merging pull requests, etc)
