+# Merriweather Sans — Source Metadata Investigation
+
+**Model**: Claude Opus 4.6
+**Date**: 2026-03-12
+
+## Repository
+
+- **URL**: https://github.com/SorkinType/Merriweather-Sans
+- **Commit**: `bb6bd99bf9eb756723f2428629659a638702d335`
+- **Commit date**: 2020-08-22
+- **Commit message**: Merge branch 'master' of https://github.com/SorkinType/Merriweather-Sans
+- **Author**: Eben Sorkin
+
+## Source Files
+
+The repository contains UFO sources and designspace files in the `sources/` directory:
+
+- `MerriweatherSans.designspace` (Roman)
+- `MerriweatherSans-Italic.designspace` (Italic)
+- `MerriweatherSans-Light.ufo`
+- `MerriweatherSans-Regular.ufo`
+- `MerriweatherSans-ExtraBold.ufo`
+- `MerriweatherSans-LightItalic.ufo`
+- `MerriweatherSans-Italic.ufo`
+- `MerriweatherSans-ExtraBoldItalic.ufo`
+
+## Build System
+
+- **Build script**: `sources/build.sh` using `fontmake` to build variable and static fonts
+- **Build tool**: fontmake (designspace to variable TTF)
+- **Post-processing**: gftools fix-dsig, fix-nonhinting, fix-vf-meta; MVAR table dropped via ttx
+
+## Config
+
+A `config.yaml` already exists in the google/fonts directory specifying the two designspace sources:
+
+```yaml
+sources:
+  - sources/MerriweatherSans.designspace
+  - sources/MerriweatherSans-Italic.designspace
+```
+
+No changes needed to config.yaml.
+
+## Verification
+
+- Font files in google/fonts are **byte-identical** to the pre-built variable fonts in the upstream repo's `fonts/variable/` directory (MD5 checksums match for both Roman and Italic).
+- This confirms the fonts were taken directly from commit `bb6bd99bf9eb756723f2428629659a638702d335`.
+
+## Confidence
+
+**High** — Font binaries match exactly between google/fonts and the upstream repository at the identified commit.
