### Lora Fonts
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
#### by Olga Karpushina
|
||
|
|
and Lora project authors
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Lora is a well-balanced contemporary serif with roots in calligraphy. It is a text typeface with moderate contrast well suited for body text. A paragraph set in Lora will make a memorable appearance because of its brushed curves in contrast with driving serifs. The overall typographic voice of Lora perfectly conveys the mood of a modern-day story, or an art essay.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Technically Lora is optimised for screen appearance, and works equally well in print.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Designed by Olga Karpushina, and Alexei Vanyashin for Cyreal.
|
||

|
|
Lora is a Unicode typeface family that supports
|
||
|
|
languages that use the Latin and Cyrillic scripts and its variants, and
|
||
|
|
could be expanded to support other scripts.

## Building
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Fonts are built automatically by GitHub Actions - take a look in the "Actions" tab for the latest build.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
If you particularly want to build fonts manually on your own computer, you will need to install the [`yq` utility](https://github.com/mikefarah/yq). On OS X with Homebrew, type `brew install yq`; on Linux, try `snap install yq`; if all else fails, try the instructions on the linked page.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Then:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* `make build` will produce font files.
|
||
|
|
* `make test` will run [FontBakery](https://github.com/googlefonts/fontbakery)'s quality assurance tests.
|
||
|
|
* `make proof` will generate HTML proof files.
