## About Glegoo

Glegoo is a slab serif with a light, even line. In the specimen the Regular's strokes and its flat, unbracketed serifs are almost the same thickness, the lowercase is tall with short ascenders and descenders, and the round letters are open inside. The official notes add that the design is slightly condensed and that these proportions are meant to help reading at very small sizes, while larger settings reveal a gentle modulation in the strokes. The family has two static weights, Regular 400 and Bold 700, and no italics. By the same notes, an update in August 2014 brought the Bold, ttfautohint hinting and a Devanagari subset. The 793 glyphs cover Latin, Latin Extended and Devanagari. Eduardo Tunni is the designer; the license notice also names the Lohit Fonts Project contributors. The license is the SIL Open Font License 1.1.

## Where it works

- **Small text on screens**: A large x-height and open counters, together with hinting, keep the light slab strokes readable in captions and body copy.
- **Article headlines**: At heading sizes the flat serifs and the slight stroke modulation give titles a clean, structured look.
- **Pages mixing Latin and Devanagari**: Both scripts are in the same two files, so a bilingual page needs no second font.
- **Subheads and labels in Bold**: Bold 700 separates subheadings and table headers from Regular text within the family.

## Things to know

- **Two weights, no italic**: Glegoo has Regular 400 and Bold 700. Emphasis by italic is not available.
- **Devanagari included**: The fonts carry a Devanagari character set beside Latin and Latin Extended.
- **Hinted files**: The official notes state that the family was hinted with ttfautohint.
