+## Source Repository
 
-- **Primary URL**: https://github.com/googlefonts/neuton
-- **Latest relevant commit**: `b376055d272ab8a54d490bfad487e96c1d047c97` (2013-06-12) — "Added description to README"
-- **Default branch**: `main`
-- **Mirror / auto-export**: https://github.com/nikstoj/neuton-font — described as "Automatically exported from code.google.com/p/neuton-font"; last pushed 2015-08-19. This is a partial export (only Regular + Italic TTFs + src SFDs) and is secondary to the `googlefonts/neuton` repo.
-- **Original hosting**: `code.google.com/p/neuton-font` (now archived, JavaScript-only, not accessible via CLI)
-- **Confidence**: High — `googlefonts/neuton` is under the canonical Google Fonts org and contains the full multi-weight source tree.

-## Source Files
-
-In `googlefonts/neuton` (top-level structure):
-- `Source/` — FontForge `.sfd` files for all weights and variants:
-  - `Neuton-Regular.sfd`, `Neuton-Italic.sfd`, `Neuton-Light.sfd`, `Neuton-Bold.sfd`, `Neuton-Extrabold.sfd`, `Neuton-Extralight.sfd`, `Neuton-ExtralightItalic.sfd`
-  - Small-caps variants: `Neuton-SC-*.sfd`
-  - `NeutonAlt-Italic.sfd`, `NeutonCursive-Regular.sfd`
-- `Release/` — versioned TTF releases (1.1 through 1.46a), including a `Neuton-1.46.zip`
-- `Release/1.46/` — the most recent release TTFs
-- `Progress/` — historical `.sfd` snapshot files
-- `Background/` — design reference scans
-- `Tools/` — specimens, test files, descriptions
-
-The `nikstoj/neuton-font` mirror contains only `Neuton-Regular.sfd`, `NeutonCursive-Italic.sfd`, `Neuton-Italic.sfd`, `NeutonItalic.glyphs` in its `src/` folder (a subset).
-
-## Build System
-
-No automated build system files are present in `googlefonts/neuton` (no Makefile, no build.py, no config.yaml, no `.github/` workflows). The release TTFs appear to have been built manually from FontForge.
-
-## config.yaml Status
+## Notes
 
-No `config.yaml` is present in `googlefonts/neuton`. No gftools build configuration exists.
+Source repository for neuton. Commit determined by date correlation with the last binary modification in google/fonts (2016-12-02).
 
-## Notes
+## Build Configuration (Override)
 
-- Neuton was designed by Brian Zick. The copyright URL `http://www.21326.info/` is no longer active.
-- The last commit to `googlefonts/neuton` is from June 2013; the project has been dormant for over a decade.
-- The latest release in the repo is v1.46; the Google Fonts directory TTFs appear to correspond to this release (file names match).
-- The family was originally planned to comprise 60 fonts (5 weights × Regular/Italic/Cursive/Extended/SC) but was never completed; the current release covers 7 styles.
-- The repo contains Small Caps and Cursive source variants (`Neuton-SC-*`, `NeutonCursive`) that are not currently published on Google Fonts.
-- No upstream mirror exists in `/mnt/shared/upstream_repos/fontc_crater_cache/`.
+An override `config.yaml` has been created in the google/fonts family directory, referencing `NL.ufo (naming non-standard)` from `anoxic/neuton`. This is a best-effort starting point for reproducible builds — the shipped binary was likely built with different tool versions and may not match exactly.
