Attributes

style 
Style of the typeface: Serif, Sans-serif, Script, Blackletter, Display, Symbol

Optional

Not required, but recommended.

classifications 
A more specific term for the style, such as "Modern", "Humanist" or "Geometric"
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).
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.
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.
creationdate 
The year the font was created.
releasedate 
The year the typeface was first released, if different than the creation date.
creator 
Name of this font's designer(s), if known. Otherwise leave blank and fill in foundry name.

foundry 
The original distributor and license owners of the typeface.

trademark 
The owner of the font name, or the holder of the font's trademark.
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.
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.
