-## Source Files
+- `Numans-Regular.vfb` — FontLab source (proprietary format, not buildable with gftools)
+- `Numans-Regular-TTF.sfd` — FontForge SFD (likely converted from VFB for TTF generation, not buildable with gftools-builder)
+- `Numans-Regular.otf` — compiled OTF binary (not a design source)
+- `METADATA_comments.txt` — metadata notes (not a source file)
 
-No source files (UFO, SFD, etc.) found publicly. The font binary in the Google Fonts repo is `Numans-Regular.ttf` (version 001.001).
+The primary design source is the `.vfb` file (FontLab proprietary format). The `.sfd` file is a TTF-flavored conversion. Neither format is buildable with gftools-builder.

 ## Notes
 
 - Numans is a modern grotesque sans-serif with open forms, designed in 2011.
 - The designer Jovanny Lemonad also designed Philosopher and Yeseva One (both on Google Fonts), but those fonts have been maintained in separate GitHub repos by third parties (alexeiva).
-- No GitHub repository under Jovanny Lemonad's name was found.
-- The original website (jovanny.ru) is unreachable.
-- This family appears to have no accessible upstream source. It may have been contributed directly to Google Fonts without a public source repo, or the source may have been lost.
-- No cached clone found in `/mnt/shared/upstream_repos/fontc_crater_cache/`.
-- **Confidence**: Low — no upstream source identified.
+- No GitHub repository under Jovanny Lemonad's name was found. The original website (jovanny.ru) is unreachable.
+- The googlefontdirectory-hg monorepo is the only known location of the original source files.
+- Confidence in source identification: **Medium** — the VFB source in googlefontdirectory-hg is the original design source, but the proprietary format limits its usefulness for rebuilding.
