WIP Designers are still working on it. Axes introduced by this font are being discussed on:

• YEXT
• SPED

[vv-monsalve]

Issues with feedback opened after the first FB round on all 43 models.

[chrissimpkins]

Edited title to Playpen Sans from Playpen.

[chrissimpkins]

Moved to Q4. We plan to onboard Playpen Sans in Q3, not the localized Playpen families

[chrissimpkins]

The project name was changed to "Playwrite". Updated the title

[vv-monsalve]

An extensive revision to the name schema is ongoing, considering nameID4 length limitations.
Kerning still needs to be added.

[vv-monsalve]

PRs for two test cases have been done this year. The last production/engineering stage will be done in 2024 Q1.

[chrissimpkins]

@vv-monsalve Will you please enumerate all of the planned localized versions here? Then, let's open a new issue on the tracker for each since they will be onboarded separately. Thanks!

[vv-monsalve]

During our last meeting, Tobias proposed publishing the font according to the country's population. So I'll add that data into our spreadsheets and then add a list ordered according to that here.

[vv-monsalve]

I've added the list of the first batch of fonts following the above prioritization.

[vv-monsalve]

PRs for the prioritized first Batch are in progress

[vv-monsalve]

We have more in the list, so reopening it :)

[emmamarichal]

@vv-monsalve it's automatically closed when I merge the PRs, should we stop linking them to that issue?

[vv-monsalve]

No, I think I'll keep opening it again as long as needed.

[vv-monsalve]

All the PRs for Playwrite project have been done now 🎉
