Add Libre Cheltenham #11272

Font Project Git Repo URL:

https://github.com/vetrivelcsamy/libre-cheltenham

Super short description of the Font Family:

Libre Cheltenham is a serif family in three weights with matching italics, in the spirit of Cheltenham — the public-domain 1896 face by Goodhue and Kimball. 325 glyphs per style; the Google Fonts Latin Core set is complete. FontBakery at ofl/librecheltenham/: FAIL 0, WARN 36, PASS 902.

Specimen: https://vetrivelcsamy.github.io/libre-cheltenham/

Provenance: my own drawing, made in FontLab. No geometry taken from any existing digital font. Repository sources are Glyphs .glyphspackage files.

Disclosure of AI tool use: some outlines were generated programmatically with AI assistance, from measurements taken off my own drawn outlines rather than drawn by hand — nine of the fourteen combining marks, Æ æ Œ œ §, the eszett and its capital, and the kerning. Each is listed with its shortcomings at DRAWING.md §2a; §2b covers four now cut from my own P, b and o.

Name: renamed from "Cheltenham Classic" before review — Cheltenham is a live trademark in type, and the naming rules ask for "Libre", as with Libre Franklin.

By opening this issue, I confirm the project meets the following requirements:

• There are no "Reserved Font Names" in the OFL license information, or in the project documentation of any known upstream projects.
• The family name is unique according to namecheck.fontdata.com
• The name of the font family expected to appear on app menus is clearly communicated and definitive, and includes no copyright holder's full names or acronyms.
• The font supports at least the Google Fonts 'Latin Core' glyphset
• The repo has the Google Fonts preferred upstream repo structure
• I have read, agree with, and comply with, the full Google Fonts contributing requirements
• I will maintain the repository and participate in the onboarding process (addressing, solving, and responding to issues, merging pull requests, etc)
