=Attributes=
==Required==
; name : Name of the typeface. Please be specific so the font preview works well.
; style : Style of the typeface: Serif, Sans-serif, Script, Blackletter, Display, Symbol
==Optional ''(Not required, but recommended)''==
; image : Image of name of the font, set in its own face. This is different than the sample attribute below.
SVG file format is recommended.
; imagesize : Width of the image to display (default is 300px).
; caption : Caption for image, if needed.
; classifications : The Vox-ATypI classification for the typeface, such as "Humanist", "Didone", "Geometric", or "Lineal humanist".
; creator : Name of this font's designer(s), if known. Otherwise leave blank and fill in foundry name.
; commissioned_by : Name of organization or individual who originally commissioned the typeface to be created.
; foundry : The original distributor and license owners of the typeface.
Note: Monotype doesn't link to the foundry.
; creationdate : The year the font was created.
; releasedate : The year the typeface was first released, if different than the creation date.
; foundries : The names of foundries that have re-issued the typeface in the same format or formats differing from the original, e.g., digital.
; glyphs : The number of glyphs the font contains, or an estimate if not available.
; characters : The number of unique characters; specify encoding if other than Unicode.
; license : The license the font is published under, e.g. "OFL", "CC0", or "Proprietary".
; based_on : Refers to the original design on which a revival, reinterpretation, homage or extension is based upon. This is not the same as a clone, for which the "aka" attribute should be used.
; variations : List of alternate foundry type designs based on the letterforms of this typeface. For instance, "Garamond", "Adobe Garamond", and "ITC Garamond" are different designs, yet are all based on the same original typeface.
; aka : Alternate (or imitation) names for other fonts based on this typeface. For instance, "Swiss 721" is Bitstream's name for its release of Helvetica.
; metrically_compatible_with : A metrically compatible typeface, or a plainlist of such typefaces. Where the typeface has an article in Wikipedia, wikilink it. See this [https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Metric-compatible_fonts ArchWiki page] for examples, but avoid linking clones lacking notability.
; trademark : The owner of the font name, or the holder of the font's trademark.
; sample : A sample of the font, displaying a single large character ("g"), the "quick brown fox" pangram, and a set of characters (A–Z, a–z, 0-9, basic punctuation).
SVG file format is recommended.
; shown here : Names the version of the font pictured in the illustration.
; sample_fullimage : A large sample image of the font, displaying its full character set (typically, the standard 256 glyphs of a TrueType font).
SVG file format is recommended.
; website : The web site URL, if any, of the font.
Use
; latest_release_version : most recent release of the font
; latest_release_date : date when the most recent version was published.
