+Libertinus fonts
+================
+
+![Sample of Libertinus fonts](preview.svg)
+
+The Libertinus fonts project is a fork of the [Linux Libertine][1] and Linux
+Biolinum fonts. It started as an OpenType math companion of the Libertine font
+family, and has grown to a full fork to address some of the bugs in the fonts.
+Thanks to Frédéric Wang for coming up with the name Libertinus.
+
+Libertinus was forked from the [5.3.0 (2012-07-02) release][2] of Linux
+Libertine fonts.
+
+The family consists of:
+
+* Libertinus Serif: forked from *Linux Libertine*.
+* Libertinus Sans: forked from *Linux Biolinum*.
+* Libertinus Mono: forked from *Linux Libertine Mono*.
+* Libertinus Math: an OpenType math font for use in OpenType math-capable
+ applications (like LuaTeX, XeTeX or MS Word 2007+).
+
+Libertinus fonts are available under the terms of the Open Font License version
+1.1.
+
+A zip file containing the font files can be downloaded from the “[Releases][3]”
+page of the project on GitHub.
+
+See the [`CONTRIBUTING.md`](CONTRIBUTING.md) file
+for instructions on how to build the fonts and contribute any changes.
