===Attributes===

====Required====
; name : Name of the typeface. Please be specific so the font preview works well.
; style : Style of the typeface: Serif, Sans-serif, Script, Blackletter, Display, Symbol

====Optional ''(Not required, but recommended)''====
; 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).
; classifications : The [[Vox-ATypI classification]] for the typeface, such as "Humanist", "Didone", "Geometric", or "Lineal humanist".
; creator : Name of this font's designer(s), if known. Otherwise leave blank and fill in foundry name.
; commissioned_by : Name of organization or individual who originally commissioned the typeface to be created.
; foundry : The original distributor and license owners of the typeface. Note: [[Monotype]] doesn't link to the foundry.
; creationdate : The year the font was created.
; releasedate : The year the typeface was first released, if different than the creation date.
; foundries : The names of foundries that have re-issued the typeface in the same format or formats differing from the original, e.g., [[computer font|digital]].
; glyphs : The number of [[glyph]]s the font contains, or an estimate if not available.
; characters : The number of unique [[Character (computing)|characters]]; specify encoding if other than [[Unicode]].
; license : The license the font is published under, e.g. "[[SIL Open Font License|OFL]]", "[[CC0#Seven_regularly_used_licenses|CC0]]", or "[[Proprietary software|Proprietary]]".
; 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.
; variations : List of alternate foundry type designs based on the [[letterform]]s of this typeface. For instance, "[[Garamond]]", "Adobe Garamond", and "ITC Garamond" are different designs, yet are all based on the same original typeface.
; aka : Alternate (or imitation) names for other fonts based on this typeface. For instance, "[[Swiss 721]]" is [[Bitstream Inc.|Bitstream]]'s name for its release of [[Helvetica]].
; metrically_compatible_with : A [[metric-compatible|metrically compatible]] typeface, or a [[Template:Plainlist|plainlist]] of such typefaces. Where the typeface has an article in Wikipedia, wikilink it. See this [https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Metric-compatible_fonts ArchWiki page] for examples, but avoid linking clones lacking notability.
; trademark : The owner of the font name, or the holder of the font's trademark.
; sample : A sample of the font, displaying a single large character ("g"), the [[The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog|"quick brown fox" pangram]], and a set of characters (A–Z, a–z, 0-9, basic punctuation). ''[[SVG]] file format is recommended.''
; shown here : Names the version of the font pictured in the illustration.
; sample_fullimage : A large sample image of the font, displaying its full character set (typically, the standard 256 glyphs of a [[TrueType]] font). ''[[SVG]] file format is recommended.''
; website : The web site URL, if any, of the font. Use <code><nowiki>{{URL|http://www.example.com}}</nowiki></code>
; latest_release_version : most recent release of the font
; latest_release_date : date when the most recent version was published. Use <code><nowiki>{{release date and age|YYYY|MM|DD}}</nowiki></code>

=== Coverage ===
; arabic : Set ''yes'' if it contains these characters.
; cyrillic : Set ''yes'' if it contains these characters.
; devangari : Set ''yes'' if it contains these characters.
; greek : Set ''yes'' if it contains these characters.
; emoji :  ''Proposed TBD?''
; hebrew : Set ''yes'' if it contains these characters.
; ipa : Set ''yes'' if it contains these characters.
; latin : Set ''yes'' if it contains these characters.
