-## Repository
+## Source Repository
 
-The upstream source repository is hosted on GitHub by the librefonts organization:
+The original design sources for Milonga are preserved in the **googlefontdirectory-hg** monorepo, a git mirror of the original Google Code Mercurial repository that was the canonical host for Google Fonts from 2010 to 2013.
 
-- **URL**: https://github.com/librefonts/milonga
-- **Type**: Non-fork repository
-- **Last commit**: `5cbad6e6871080ea3507db062760135a22522a5e` (2014-10-17, "update .travis.yml")
+- **Repository**: [googlefontdirectory-hg](https://github.com/googlefonts/googlefontdirectory-hg)
+- **Commit**: `52f780bc9d197280a9f430574e179a5f233c56b6`
+- **Source path**: `ofl/milonga/src/`
 
-No dedicated repository under the `impallari` GitHub account was found for Milonga (unlike Miltonian, which has `impallari/Miltonian`). A search for `impallari/Milonga` returns a 404. The `librefonts/milonga` repository is the best-known upstream source.
+### Source files
 
-The designer is **Pablo Impallari** (Impallari Type), with co-designers Brenda Gallo and Rodrigo Fuenzalida per the copyright notice.
+| File | Format | Buildable |
+|------|--------|-----------|
+| `Milonga-Regular.vfb` | FontLab VFB | No (proprietary) |
+| `Milonga-Regular-OTF.vfb` | FontLab VFB | No (proprietary) |
+| `Milonga-Regular-TTF.vfb` | FontLab VFB | No (proprietary) |
+| `Milonga-Regular.otf` | Compiled OTF binary | No (not a design source) |
+| `METADATA_comments.txt` | Metadata notes | N/A |
 
-## Source Files
+Three VFB files are present: the main master (`Milonga-Regular.vfb`, 285 KB), one optimized for OTF output (`-OTF.vfb`, 192 KB), and one optimized for TTF output (`-TTF.vfb`, 259 KB). The `.otf` is a compiled binary, not a design source. No UFO, Glyphs, SFD, or other modern buildable sources are available.
 
-In the `librefonts/milonga` repository, source files are under `src/`:
+## Build System
 
-- `src/Milonga-Regular.vfb` — FontLab Studio source file (285 KB, main master)
-- `src/Milonga-Regular-OTF.vfb` — FontLab source optimized for OTF output (192 KB)
-- `src/Milonga-Regular-TTF.vfb` — FontLab source optimized for TTF output (259 KB)
-- `src/Milonga-Regular.otf.*.ttx` — ttx table dumps of the OTF build
-- `src/VERSIONS.txt` — notes version as `Milonga-Regular.ttf: Version 1.000; ttfautohint (v0.93)`
-- `src/METADATA_comments.txt` — metadata notes
+No modern build system (gftools builder, fontmake) is available. The VFB format is proprietary (FontLab Studio) and requires conversion before modern tooling can be used.
 
-The `.vfb` files (FontLab Studio native format) are the canonical source. The repo root also contains a full set of `.ttx` table dumps and the compiled `Milonga-Regular.ttf`.
+## config.yaml Status
 
-## Build System
+No `config.yaml` exists. One cannot be created without converting sources to a modern format (UFO or Glyphs).
 
-The `librefonts/milonga` repo uses a legacy `fontbakery-build.py` CI pipeline via `.travis.yml`, driven by FontForge + ttfautohint. This build system is obsolete (Travis CI is no longer free; fontbakery-cli as used here is a very old version).
+## Designer & History
 
-No modern build system (e.g., gftools builder, fontmake) is present.
+- **Designer**: Pablo Impallari (Impallari Type), with co-designers Brenda Gallo and Rodrigo Fuenzalida
+- **Contact**: impallari@gmail.com
+- **Font version**: 1.000 — initial release with no subsequent updates
+- **Design notes**: A tribute to Rioplatense culture, inspired by the Argentine/Uruguayan "fileteado porteno" painting tradition. Designed for display/headline use.
 
-## config.yaml Status
+No dedicated repository under the `impallari` GitHub account was found for Milonga (unlike Miltonian, which has `impallari/Miltonian`). A search for `impallari/Milonga` returns a 404.
+
+## Additional Repository
+
+A copy also exists in the `librefonts` GitHub organization:
+
+- **URL**: https://github.com/librefonts/milonga
+- **Last commit**: `5cbad6e6871080ea3507db062760135a22522a5e` (2014-10-17, "update .travis.yml")
 
-No `config.yaml` exists in `/mnt/shared/google/fonts/ofl/milonga/`. None exists in the upstream repository.
+This is a legacy mirror from 2014 with an obsolete fontbakery-build pipeline. It has not been updated since October 2014.
 
 ## Notes
 
-- The `librefonts/milonga` repo has not been updated since October 2014 and predates the current Google Fonts source workflow.
-- The `.vfb` source format requires FontLab Studio (proprietary) to edit. No open-source-friendly alternative source (e.g., UFO, Glyphs, `.sfd`) is available.
-- Milonga is version 1.000 — appears to be an initial release with no subsequent updates in the known repos.
-- The font was designed as a tribute to Rioplatense culture, inspired by the Argentine/Uruguayan "fileteado porteño" painting tradition. It is useful for display/headline use.
-- A config.yaml would need to be authored from scratch for any future Google Fonts rebuild.
-- Consider reaching out via the Impallari Type GitHub account or the contact listed in the copyright string (`impallari@gmail.com`) to determine if updated sources exist.
