-## Source Data (METADATA.pb)
+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.

+| File | Format | Notes |
+|------|--------|-------|
+| `Italiana-Regular.vfb` | FontLab VFB | Proprietary format, not buildable with gftools |
+| `Italiana-Regular-OTF.vfb` | FontLab VFB | Proprietary format, not buildable with gftools |
+| `Italiana-Regular-TTF.sfd` | FontForge SFD | Open format, not buildable with gftools-builder |
+| `Italiana-Regular.otf` | OpenType binary | Compiled font, not a design source |
+| `METADATA_comments.txt` | Metadata | Not a design source |
+
+The source directory contains legacy VFB (FontLab) and SFD (FontForge) files. These are original design sources but are not compatible with the gftools-builder pipeline, which requires Glyphs, UFO, or Designspace formats.
 
-The font is stored under `ofl/italiana/` with an OFL license. The METADATA.pb has no `source` block at all.
+## Investigation
 
-The font history in google/fonts shows:
-- `90abd17b4` — "Initial commit" — the font was present from the very beginning of the google/fonts repository (2015)
+The METADATA.pb has no `source` block. The font was added in the initial commit (`90abd17b4`) of the google/fonts repository (2015).
