+# Ewert - Investigation Report
+
+## Family Details
+- **Family name**: Ewert
+- **Designer**: Johan Kallas, Mihkel Virkus
+- **License**: OFL
+- **Category**: DISPLAY
+- **Date added**: 2012-02-08
+- **Path in google/fonts**: `ofl/ewert`
+
+## Source Repository
+- **Repository URL**: https://github.com/librefonts/ewert
+- **Status**: Accessible (HTTP 200)
+- **Branch**: master
+
+## Repository Analysis
+
+### Commit History
+The repository contains a single commit:
+
+| Commit | Date | Author | Message |
+|--------|------|--------|---------|
+| `21fa9ed` | 2014-10-17 | hash3g | update .travis.yml |
+
+This is a single-commit repository created by the `librefonts` GitHub organization (maintained by hash3g). The librefonts org migrated individual font families from the monolithic Google Font Directory into separate per-family repositories, each with CI via Travis CI and fontbakery.
+
+### Source Files
+The repository contains:
+- `src/Ewert-Regular-TTF.sfd` -- FontForge SFD source (558,360 bytes)
+- `src/Ewert-Regular-OTF.vfb` -- FontLab VFB binary source (119,693 bytes)
+- Various TTX dumps of the compiled TTF and OTF files
+- `METADATA.json`, `FONTLOG.txt`, `OFL.txt`, `DESCRIPTION.en_us.html`
+- `.travis.yml` for CI with fontbakery
+
+The primary source format is **SFD (FontForge)**, which is not compatible with gftools-builder. There are no `.glyphs`, `.ufo`, or `.designspace` files.
+
+### Config File
+- **No config.yaml** in the upstream repository
+- **No config.yaml** in the google/fonts family directory
+- Not applicable: SFD sources are not compatible with gftools-builder
+
+## Google Fonts History
+
+### Binary File History
+The TTF file (`Ewert-Regular.ttf`, 70,752 bytes) was added in the initial commit of the google/fonts repository:
+- Commit `90abd17b` (2015-03-07) by Dave Crossland -- "Initial commit"
+- The font has never been updated since being added to the repository.
+
+### Font Metadata (from binary)
+- **Version**: 1.001
+- **Copyright**: Copyright (c) 2011, Johan Kallas, Copyright (c) 2011 Mihkel Virkus
+- **Unique ID**: JohanKallas,MihkelVirkus: Ewert: 2012
+- **Created/Modified**: Fri Feb 3 21:13:17 2012
+
+The font was originally created in February 2012 and released as version 1.001.
+
+### METADATA.pb Changes
+1. `90abd17b` (2015-03-07) -- Initial commit (added with the entire google/fonts repo)
+2. `480630de` -- Tentative update to METADATA.pb textprotos
+3. `27f377ab` -- Update copyright field
+4. `883939708` -- Remove METADATA.json files
+5. `06331b24` (2021-03-22) -- Ewert: Multiple designers fixed (#3228) by Rosalie Wagner
+6. Various language support and classification batch updates
+7. No source block has been added to main yet
+
+### Pending Source Block
+A source block was prepared on branch `sources_info_2026-02-25` (commit `9a14639f3`) but has not been merged to main:
+```
+source {
+  repository_url: "https://github.com/librefonts/ewert"
+  commit: "21fa9ed2031b8f7f1bec75cb3f91ad495e3b2370"
+}
+```
+
+## Commit Hash Verification
+
+Since the librefonts/ewert repository has only a single commit (`21fa9ed`), and the TTX dumps in the repository match the font metadata in the google/fonts binary (Version 1.001, same copyright, same name table entries), the commit hash `21fa9ed2031b8f7f1bec75cb3f91ad495e3b2370` is the correct reference.
+
+The upstream repo was created on 2014-10-17, while the font was added to Google Fonts on 2012-02-08 (pre-dating the librefonts repo). This confirms the librefonts repo is a migration of the original sources, not the original development repository. The original sources from the designers (Johan Kallas and Mihkel Virkus) are not available in a separate public repository.
+
+## Recommended Source Block
+
+```
+source {
+  repository_url: "https://github.com/librefonts/ewert"
+  commit: "21fa9ed2031b8f7f1bec75cb3f91ad495e3b2370"
+}
+```
+
+No `config_yaml` field is needed because the sources are SFD-only (FontForge format), which is not compatible with gftools-builder.
+
+## Status
+- **Status**: complete (SFD-only sources)
+- **Confidence**: HIGH
+- **Config**: none (SFD-only sources)
+
+## Notes
+- The librefonts organization was a community effort by hash3g to split the monolithic Google Font Directory into individual per-family repositories with CI integration.
+- The SFD and VFB sources are legacy formats. If this font were to be rebuilt, the sources would need to be converted to a gftools-compatible format (.glyphs, .ufo, or .designspace).
+- The font has not been updated since its original onboarding in 2012.
