Font Project Git Repo URL:
https://github.com/wenitte/goulsse-font.git

Super short description of the Font Family:
Goulsse is a modernization of ancient writing systems used for the Gur languages of West Africa

Requirements:

I understand that Google Fonts will publish only fonts that matches its requirements, and I can confirm the project meets them (by ticking the cases, or putting x between the square brackets in text mode):

  • [ x] The entire font project is licensed under the OFL
  • [x ] There is no "Reserved Font Name" mention in the OFL license
  • [ x] Family name is unique according to namecheck.fontdata.com
  • [x ] The font supports at least GF Latin Core glyphset
  • [ x] The repository respect the upstream repo structure
  • [ x] The source files are available in the repository
  • [ x] I read, agree and comply with the full contributing requirements
  • [x ] I am the author of the font or the author agreed to this submission
  • [x ] I will maintain the repository

Image:

Attach here a pic or a screenshot of the font; one is enough, it can be few letters, to give a quick overview.

Hi, thanks for your submission.

Unfortunately, the font doesn't comply with the requirements. It is impossible for us to give a review if source files (font editor files such .UFO or .glyphs) are missing. Re-read the contributing policies carefully, and feel free to re-open an issue when the font complies with GF requirements.

This font is using Latin characters with Goulsse glyphs. Goulsse script needs to be added to Unicode first for better interoperability.

@wenitte Are you in contact with Charles Riley? He has worked on several proposals to add African scripts to Unicode. Let me know if I can help?

@moyogo thanks so much for the reply! No I am not in contact with Charles Riley, would be greatly appreciative of an intro to better understand the process!
