I note that there is a possible issue with the licensing of this font:

googlefonts/atkinson-hyperlegible#1

No issue, I worked with the Braille Institute to shift the project to OFL.

[jonassmedegaard]

Where do the Braille Institute state that the font is licensed under OFL?

[davelab6]

@jonassmedegaard there will be a press release when the fonts is available in GF to maximize reach of the message

[jonassmedegaard]

Makes good sense. Thanks for clarifying.

Please link to the press release from this issue.

“The Google Fonts team is all about providing access to the power of type. Braille Institute decided to make this font family available to everyone to use everywhere, using the SIL Open Font License. We are happy to make it easy to use in Google Workspace across collaboration apps like Docs and Slides, and the web,” said Dave Crossland, lead programs and operations manager for Google Fonts.
