   - Branch: `master`
   - Latest commit: `eedf80c86b226640d3e1ba0ad99bb01c96627b71` (2014-10-17, "update .travis.yml")
   - Status: Frozen since 2014; not archived but no activity since then.
 
 - **Designer's canonical repo**: https://github.com/wmk69/Nova
-  - The `wmk69/Nova` repo **does** include Nova Round (as `NovaRound-Book.sfd`, etc.) with a substantially redesigned v3.x version including Bold, Oblique, and Slim variants. However, the Google Fonts version is v2.000 from 2011 and the `librefonts/novaround` repo holds the matching source.

-## Source Files

-The `librefonts/novaround` repo contains:
-- `src/NovaRound.sfd` — FontForge source file (primary editable source)
-- `NovaRound.ttf.*.ttx` — TTX-decomposed TTF tables (generated artifact)
-- `src/VERSIONS.txt`
-- `METADATA.json`, `FONTLOG.txt`, `OFL.txt`, `DESCRIPTION.en_us.html`

-The `.sfd` file is the authoritative source.

 ## Build System
 
-The repo uses the legacy `fontbakery-build.py` pipeline (circa 2014), driven by a `.travis.yml` CI config. This system is obsolete. No `Makefile` or modern build script is present.

-## config.yaml Status
-
-No `config.yaml` exists in the `librefonts/novaround` repo or in `ofl/novaround/` in google/fonts. One would need to be created for any rebuild attempt.
