It is inspired by\nthe 1920s German sans-serifs. This is version 3.7.\n\nJost* is designed and maintained by [Owen Earl](https://ewonrael.github.io/), who is the creator of the font foundry [indestructible type*](http://indestructible-type.github.io).\n\nAbout\n-----\nDuring the 1920s there was a radical shift in German sans serif letterforms. A marriage between the\nprecise geometry of earlier German sans serifs with the clean legibility of the humanists coming out of\nEngland, yielded a geometric sans serif that is so iconic that it still looks as futuristic and forward-\nthinking as it did almost 100 years ago. Jost* is an ode to this era of type design. Instead of trying to\nrecreate it precisely, Jost* aims to capture the spirit, using the technologies of today.\n\nJost* has 9 weights, ranging from Hairline to Black. It can support many languages, includes stylistic\nalternatives, and both tabular and proportional numbers. Using Jost* on the web is as easy as copying a\nline of code into your webpage and includes automatic updates. As of version 3.0, Jost* supports OpenType\nVariable Font technology that allows users to control the exact weight and italic of the font. Best of all\nJost* is still being actively developed meaning it will continue to improve and future updates may include\nfeatures requested by you!

However, because of the difficulty\nassociated with creating the OpenType Variable Font features, the compliled, functoning version of this font\nrequires a payment of $10 or more on the website. However, if you'd like to build this font yourself using\nthe source code, the follow the following instructions.\n\n1. Download the complete source code, either by cloning this repository or downloading the .zip file.\n\n2. Download and install:\u003cbr\u003e\n**fontmake** which can be found [here](https://github.com/googlei18n/fontmake)\u003cbr\u003e\n**gftools** which can be found [here](https://github.com/googlefonts/gftools)\u003cbr\u003e\n**ttfautohint** which can be found [here](https://www.freetype.org/ttfautohint/)\u003cbr\u003e\n\n3. Run the build.sh script located in the \"scripts\" folder. This should make both the variable and non-variable versions of the font.\n\nContact\n-------\nIf you have questions or want to help out, send me and email at indestructibletype@gmail.com\n","funding_links":[],"categories":[],"sub_categories":[],"project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Findestructible-type%2Fjost","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Findestructible-type%2Fjost","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Findestructible-type%2Fjost/lists"}
