+      Initially designed by Matt McInerney as a single thin weight, it was
+      expanded into a 9 weight family by Pablo Impallari and Rodrigo Fuenzalida
+      in 2012 and iKerned by Igino Marini. In 2013 the Italics where added.
+
+      It is a display face and the download features both old style and lining
+      numerals, standard and discretionary ligatures, a pretty complete set of
+      diacritics, as well as a stylistic alternate inspired by more geometric
+      sans-serif typefaces than its neo-grotesque inspired default character
+      set.
+
+      It also has a sister display family, Raleway Dots.
