## Dosis Font

by Edgar Tolentino, Pablo Impallari, Igino Marini

## Current Status

- Dosis-VF is a remastered variable font version. 

- Version 1.007 is the latest stable version.

- Version 2.xxx is an ongoing migration to Glyphs and Vietnamese extension, but is still a work in progress.

## Description

Dosis is a very simple, rounded, sans serif family.

The lighter weights are minimalist. The bolder weights have more personality. The medium weight is nice and balanced.

The overall result is a family that's clean and modern, and can express a wide range of voices & feelings.

It's also full of alternate glyphs so you can play arround and have fun.

It comes in 7 weights: ExtraLight, Light, Regular, Medium, Semibold, Bold & ExtraBold

## Variable Font

In 2018 Dosis was remastered as a variable font.

## 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.
