# Readerly
When I was doing my usual font tweaking for my ebook-fonts repository, I stumbled upon variable fonts exporting. Doing this for Newsreader gave me some interesting results at small optical sizes: the font was now reminding me of Bookerly.
I asked myself the question: how close can we get to the visual appearance of Bookerly while still retaining Newsreader and keeping the font licensed under the OFL?
The goal is to get a metrically/visually similar font, without actually copying glyphs or anything that would infringe upon the rights of the original creators.
To accomplish this, I wanted to start from the 9pt font, which I exported. Then, it was a matter of playing around with scripts and manual edits to see if I could get something that was optically close enough.
