+ Datatype is a variable OpenType font that transforms simple text expressions into inline data visualizations—no JavaScript required. Using OpenType contextual alternates and ligature substitution, text like <code>{b:30,70,50,90}</code> automatically becomes a bar chart within your document.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+ Designed for seamless integration into text-based workflows, Datatype enables you to embed charts directly in emails, documentation, reports, and web content. The font supports three chart types: bar charts, sparklines (line charts), and pie charts, each activated through simple text syntax.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+<strong>Chart Syntax:</strong>
+</p>
+<ul>
+ <li>Bar charts: <code>{b:15,45,80,30,60}</code> (up to 20 values, 0-100)</li>
+ <li>Sparklines: <code>{l:10,40,25,70,50}</code> (up to 20 points, 0-100)</li>
+ <li>Pie charts: <code>{p:75}</code> (single percentage value)</li>
+</ul>
+
+<p>
+ The font includes two variable axes for extensive customization: Width (wdth: 0-100) controls spacing and compactness, while Weight (wght: 100-900) adjusts line thickness and visual prominence. This enables designers to fine-tune charts for different contexts—from dense dashboards to prominent presentations.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+ Datatype uses the Contextual Alternates (<code>calt</code>) feature for bar charts and sparklines, ensuring broad compatibility across applications including Google Docs, Sheets, and Slides. Pie charts utilize Standard Ligatures (<code>liga</code>), which may require manual enablement in some environments.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+ Built with fontTools and licensed under the SIL Open Font License 1.1, Datatype brings the power of inline data visualization to any application that supports OpenType features.
