+| **Commit** | `52f780bc9d197280a9f430574e179a5f233c56b6` |

+
+The font sources are in the **googlefontdirectory-hg** monorepo, a git mirror of the original Google Code Mercurial repository (`code.google.com/p/googlefontdirectory`) that was the canonical host for Google Fonts from 2010 to 2013.

-No source block

+The source directory contains legacy VFB (FontLab) and SFD (FontForge) design sources, along with OpenType kerning feature code and design documentation PDFs from December 2010. These are original design sources but are not compatible with the gftools-builder pipeline.
 
 ## Investigation
 
-The METADATA.pb for Kenia has no `source` block. The font was added in the "Initial commit" (`90abd17b4`) of the google/fonts repository.
+The METADATA.pb has no `source` block. The font was added in the initial commit (`90abd17b4`) of the google/fonts repository.
 
 The copyright notice reads: "Copyright (c) 2010, Julia Petretta (julia.petretta@googlemail.com), with Reserved Font Name Kenia"
 
-The cached repository at `upstream_repos/fontc_crater_cache/librefonts/kenia` contains only TTX/VFB/SFD source files. The `src/` directory contains:
-- `Kenia-Regular.sfd` (FontForge)
-- `Kenia-Regular.vfb` (FontLab)
-- `Kenia-Regular-TTF.sfd` (FontForge)
-- Design documentation PDFs (2010)
+Kenia is Julia Petretta's earliest known Google Fonts contribution (2010). The design documentation PDFs preserved in the source directory provide historical context for the font's development.
 
-The git log shows one commit (`update .travis.yml`). No actual source changes exist beyond the initial librefonts import.
+A cached repository exists at `upstream_repos/fontc_crater_cache/librefonts/kenia` containing similar source files. The git log shows one commit ("update .travis.yml") with no actual source changes beyond the initial librefonts import. This librefonts repository is an archival mirror.
 
-There is no publicly known upstream repository for this Julia Petretta font. Kenia is Julia Petretta's earliest known Google Fonts contribution (2010).
+There is no publicly known upstream GitHub repository for this Julia Petretta font.
 
 ## Conclusion
 
-The font is an old display font from 2010 with no tracked upstream repository. The librefonts cache contains only legacy FontForge/FontLab source files not compatible with gftools-builder. No `config.yaml` is possible with the current sources. This family needs further investigation to find original source files from Julia Petretta.
+The googlefontdirectory-hg monorepo contains original design sources in legacy formats (VFB, SFD) along with kerning feature code and design documentation. These are not buildable with gftools-builder. No upstream GitHub repository is known for this family.
