    "Leading fits the face and the measure. Figures match their context — lining in tables, oldstyle in prose.",
    "No fake bold, fake italic or fake small caps.",
    "Letterforms are drawn from structure — stroke, contrast, proportion — never traced from a licensed font.",
    "The licence is read. The specimen proves the choice.",
    "Refuse per §4 — no copying, tracing or cleaning up of a licensed typeface, no font files distributed, no wordmark that imitates a known brand's lettering, no licence advice from memory. Read the text first; step the ladder by a ratio."
