**NV Membo** is a renamed version of [fbb](https://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/fonts/fbb), a modified version of Cardo which has a Bold Italic style, unlike NV Cardo. It has been converted to TrueType (`ttf`) for better Kobo compatibility.
|
||||
|
||||
> You can find the original version of fbb [on CTAN](https://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/fonts/fbb). The package provides a Bembo-like font package based on Cardo but with many modifications, adding Bold Italic, small caps in all styles, six figure choices in all styles, updated kerning tables, added figure tables and corrected f-ligatures.
|
||||
|

|

**NV Georsio** is a modified version of Gelasio, which was created to have identical metrics to Georgia, one of the [web's core fonts](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Core_fonts_for_the_Web) thanks to Microsoft making it available on pretty much every PC and Mac in the world.
|
||||
|
||||
> You can find the original version of Gelasio [on Google Web Fonts](https://fonts.google.com/specimen/Gelasio/about). Gelasio was designed by Eben Sorkin. Gelasio is an original typeface that has metrics compatible with Georgia in its Regular, Bold, Italic and Bold Italic weights. Its design was inspired by an original printed sample of a French Transitional typeface which follows the Romain Du Roi typeface introduced in 1702. It is available under the [OFL license](https://openfontlicense.org/).
|
||||
|
||||
**Note**: Georgia used to be the default font on older Kobo devices, and if you really liked it you can consider this to be a very similar alternative. With the release of Kobo Libra Color and Kobo Clara Color, Rakuten Serif is now the default font.

Originally created as the brand typeface for Google Play Books, it exceeds the strict needs of a comfortable reading experience on any device, screen resolution, or font size.
