Description
Font Project Git Repo URL:
https://github.com/yannickfan67-ai/Traf-Typeface
Super short description of the Font Family:
Traf Typeface is a geometric Latin typeface with rounded construction, restrained stroke contrast, and distinctive compact letterforms derived from the original Traf lettering. It is intended primarily for desktop UI, branding, headings, compact documentation, and short-form text.
Requirements:
By opening this issue, I confirm the project meets the following requirements where checked; items left unchecked are called out transparently for final maintainer/reviewer confirmation during onboarding:
- [x] The entire font project is available in a Github repository (repo) and licensed under the OFL.
- [x] I confirm that by 'entire font project', no "plus" or "pro" or other larger version of the project exists as a retail font anywhere.
- [x] The source files are available in the repo.
- [x] I am the sole copyright author of the entire project, or all other copyright authors have licensed their work to me under the OFL, and I commit to clearly disclosing if AI tools were used in the creation of this project.
- [x] There are no "Reserved Font Names" in the OFL license information, or in the project documentation of any known upstream projects.
- [x] The family name is unique according to namecheck.fontdata.com — the submitted Traf Typeface entry is now indexed by namecheck; it is currently marked “yet unverified”, and the exact-name search shows this single family entry.
- [x] The name of the font family expected to appear on app menus is Traf Typeface and is definitive. It does not include the copyright holder's full name or acronym.
- [x] The font supports at least the Google Fonts 'Latin Core' glyphset.
- [x] The repo has the Google Fonts preferred upstream repo structure.
- [x] I have read, agree with, and comply with, the full Google Fonts contributing requirements. The Google Individual Contributor License Agreement has been submitted for Yannick T Harrington-Fan using [yannickfan67@gmail.com](mailto:yannickfan67@gmail.com) and GitHub username yannickfan67-ai.
- [x] I will maintain the repository and participate in the onboarding process.
AI-assisted development disclosure:
AI tools, including OpenAI ChatGPT and image-generation tools, were used during development for exploratory visual references, technical assistance, QA guidance, repository/build automation, and assistance with generating or refining some glyph geometry. The released project contains editable UFO source and reproducible open-source build scripts so the complete source and production process can be reviewed.
QA / production notes:
Current release: v2.100
Editable source: sources/Traf-Regular.ufo
One-step fontmake build via the repository scripts
Current Google Fonts FontBakery profile in CI: 0 ERROR, 0 FATAL, 0 FAIL; remaining findings are WARN-level review items
OS/2 vendor ID is YTHF; Microsoft vendor registration is being pursued and currently causes a WARN-only unknown-vendor finding

Contributor guide
Research direction
Start with the linked Traf Typeface repository, sources/Traf-Regular.ufo, and its repository build scripts. Run the one-step fontmake build and review the FontBakery profile and current WARN-level findings. Done means the font project passes the required onboarding and review checks for inclusion in Google Fonts.
