+# Barlow Condensed
+
+**Date investigated**: 2026-02-26
+**Status**: complete
+**Designer**: Jeremy Tribby
+**METADATA.pb path**: `ofl/barlowcondensed/METADATA.pb`
+
+## Source Data
+| Field | Value |
+|-------|-------|
+| Repository URL | https://github.com/jpt/barlow |
+| Commit | b4726ddf91525818e85e5fce111c285b9273d764 |
+| **Config YAML** | Override in google/fonts |
+| Branch | main |
+
+## How the Repository URL Was Found
+The METADATA.pb file already contains `repository_url: "https://github.com/jpt/barlow"`. This matches the copyright string in font entries: "Copyright 2017 The Barlow Project Authors (https://github.com/jpt/barlow)". Barlow Condensed is part of the Barlow superfamily, all generated from a single `sources/Barlow.glyphs` source file in the jpt/barlow repository.
+
+## How the Commit Hash Was Identified
+The last commit to modify .ttf files in `ofl/barlowcondensed/` was `89f5431ff0db41bd2fe3f7ba21a723a01622428b` (2018-12-05, "barlow family updated to v1.408 (#1330) - major fixes"). PR #1330 was submitted by Jeremy Tribby (the designer, @jpt) himself with body: "This is a few versions ahead now, fixes a number of issues, some small some big (see jpt/barlow/releases)".
+
+The v1.408 tag in the upstream repo points to commit `b4726ddf91525818e85e5fce111c285b9273d764` (2018-11-06, "Fixes #34 and #37"). Since PR #1330 references version v1.408 and was submitted by the designer who would have built the fonts from this tagged release, this commit hash is the correct onboarding reference.
+
+The initial onboarding was via PR #1279 ("barlowcondensed: v1.101 added", by Marc Foley, merged 2017-10-31), but the v1.408 update replaced those binaries.
+
+## How Config YAML Was Resolved
+No `config.yaml` exists in the upstream repository at any commit. No override `config.yaml` exists in the google/fonts `ofl/barlowcondensed/` directory either. The Barlow.glyphs source file is a multi-axis source (including width axis for Condensed/Semi Condensed variants), so a config.yaml would need to be created to specify which instances to build.
+
+## Verification
+- Commit exists in upstream repo: Yes
+- Commit date: 2018-11-06
+- Commit message: "Fixes #34 and #37"
+- Source files at commit: `sources/Barlow.glyphs`, `sources/CUST_Barlow.csv`
+- v1.408 tag points to this commit: Yes
+- Pre-built Condensed binaries present at this commit: Yes (in `fonts/ttf/`)
+
+## Confidence
+**High**: The v1.408 tag clearly identifies the commit, and the PR was submitted by the designer himself. The commit hash is already correctly recorded in the tracking data.
+
+
+## Override Config YAML
+
+An override `config.yaml` has been added to the google/fonts family directory. Contents:
+
+```yaml
+sources:
+  - sources/Barlow.glyphs
+familyName: Barlow Condensed
+buildVariable: false
+```
+
+This override config enables gftools-builder to compile the font from upstream sources.
+
+## Open Questions
+- A config.yaml needs to be created to build Barlow Condensed instances from the Barlow.glyphs source. This config would need to specify the Condensed width instances specifically.
+- Since Barlow, Barlow Condensed, and Barlow Semi Condensed all share the same source file, the config.yaml would ideally need to be coordinated across all three families.
