Collection of modified/optimized serif fonts for long reading

(Long) Read Fonts

My personal favorites, best for novels & history. Modified by me using Fontlab (Trial). Tested on Kobo Clara and Kindle PW4 (and PC).

Features

- Most recent versions of the original fonts;
- Added "Read" prefix to the original font family names;
- Added basic Greek and Cyrillic letters (when necessary);
- Normalized line height (about 125% em size of ascent/descent);
- Fixed ligatures, kerning etc. (when possible and necessary);
- Optimized optical size and weight (when variable font is available);
- Added a bit of thickness only if the original font looks too thin ("Thick" suffix).

Fonts included

- Crimson Pro (Free, 860 chars)
- Literata (Google, 1163 chars)
- Newsreader (Production Type, Free, 771 chars)
- Source Serif 4 (Adobe, Free, 924 chars)
- STIX (Free, 1297 chars)
