Summary

Fixel is a typeface in 2 styles - Text and Display - and 9 weight options - from Thin to Black. A distinguishing feature of the type is that it combines elements of geometric and humanist grotesques: open letter forms, crisp, wide-width, and low contrast. The personality of the headset combines clarity, restraint, and functionality, but also friendliness, dynamism, and playfulness.

Font usage and distribution is free except for residents of Russia and Belarus

These should be on two separate lines, with a continuation character (\).

There is no such thing as MACPAW license in license.db. A separate review would be needed to add it.

BTW, what is the MACPAW license? Can you summarize here?

Use the default group, and put more descriptive name for the license.

7

Distname is not versionned, so, you need to version it here.

18

The license framework is "deny by default", so it's better to say none explicitely.
So, it means it won't ever be built as a package, so its use is very very limited as nobody will be able to install it's package.
