+# The Metropolis Typeface
+
+==The Vision==
+To create a modern, geometric typeface. Open sourced, and openly available. Influenced by other popular geometric, minimalist sans-serif typefaces of the new millenium. Designed for optimal readability at small point sizes while beautiful at large point sizes.
+
+==The Plan==
+My current plan is:
+1. Start with a 'regular' design (weight and width, as well as default metrics and glyph variations)
+2. Design a 'black' weight at the above regular width to create instances at various weights
+3. Start designing other widths or a light/hairline weight
+4. Design 'rounded', 'slab' or other variations
+
+==The License==
+Licensed under Open Font License (OFL). Available to anyone and everyone. Contributions welcome

+==Contact==
