@cssobral2013 thanks for suggesting this

This font doesn't support CJK.

[chakler]

Yeah CJK is not supported; I think the HK here stands for “HanKen,” not Hong Kong.
The designer—Alfredo Marco Pradil—is a member of the Type Philippines Facebook group, and here’s his website—

HK Grotesk is a great font! I have shared this request to the designer of the font. It would be great to get this font on Google Fonts 🤞🏻

This is the official website of the font: https://hanken.co/product/hk-grotesk/

[davelab6]

Oh - I didn't look closely.

https://github.com/google/fonts/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.md says, emphasis added,

The font family name does not include any copyright holder names or registered trademarks, and no initials or abbreviations; it should be a simple and unique name, and a limited but easy way to test for uniqueness is namecheck.fontdata.com

Would Alfredo consider renaming it?

[lalitpatel]

Hi @davelab6, I talked to Alfredo from Hanken and he is very happy to rename this font. I have shared the guidelines with him and also shared the link to this thread. He will post an update here once he is done publishing this font under a different name. Cheers!

[davelab6]

Awesome, thanks for that!!

Thanks @lalitpatel and @davelab6 for keeping this thread up! It has been a while. Yeah regarding the name of the typeface, I have changed it to Hanken Grotesk. Hopefully that is ok. Thanks @chakler for clearing that one up =)
