## Designer
- **librefonts/simonetta** — a librefonts mirror (excluded per policy).
- **profound-labs/simonetta-x-font** — extended variant with Slovenian and Pali accents, not the canonical upstream.
- No repository owned by Brownfox or Gayaneh Bagdasaryan was found.
-
-## Status
-
-No canonical upstream repository with UFO or Glyphs sources was found. No source block was added.
-
-## Confidence
-
-Low — No canonical upstream repository was located. The font predates widespread use of public version control for font sources.
