+# Investigation Report: Gafata
+
+## Summary
+
+Gafata is a Latin sans-serif font designed by Lautaro Hourcade, present in Google Fonts since the initial commit (2015-03-07). The upstream repository is `https://github.com/librefonts/gafata`, which contains only legacy source formats: FontForge SFD (`.sfd`) and FontLab VFB (`.vfb`). There is no `config.yaml` and no gftools-builder-compatible sources (.glyphs, .ufo, .designspace). The repository has only a single commit and was likely created as a mirror of the original Google Code hosting.

+## Investigation Details
+
+### Onboarding History
+
+Gafata was present in the google/fonts repository since the initial commit `90abd17b4` (2015-03-07) by Dave Crossland. The font itself was originally released on 2012-10-31. Subsequent commits only modified metadata (METADATA.pb, languages, stroke/classification).
+
+### Upstream Repository
+
+The upstream repository at `https://github.com/librefonts/gafata` is accessible and verified. It was created under the `librefonts` organization, which hosts mirrors of fonts originally from Google Code.
+
+The repository contains a single commit:
+- `dcd42b7` (2014-10-17) by hash3g: "update .travis.yml"
+
+This commit is the initial (and only) commit in the repository, adding all files at once including the Travis CI configuration.
+
+### Repository Contents
+
+The repository has the following structure:
+- Root level: TTX decomposed font tables (`.ttx` files for various tables like `_c_m_a_p`, `_g_l_y_f`, etc.)
+- `src/Gafata-Regular-OTF.vfb` - FontLab VFB source (117 KB)
+- `src/Gafata-Regular-TTF.sfd` - FontForge SFD source (221 KB)
+- `src/Gafata-Regular-before_ttfautohint.ttf.*` - Pre-autohint TTX decompositions
+- `src/Gafata-Regular.otf.*` - OTF TTX decompositions
+- `FONTLOG.txt` - Font changelog and history
+- `METADATA.json` - Legacy metadata format
+- `.travis.yml` - CI configuration
+
+### Source File Assessment
+
+The only editable source files are:
+1. **Gafata-Regular-TTF.sfd** (FontForge format) - TrueType outlines with hinting
+2. **Gafata-Regular-OTF.vfb** (FontLab format) - Merged contours for OTF
+
+Neither format is compatible with gftools-builder. The VFB format is proprietary (FontLab 5) and the SFD format is FontForge-specific. There are no `.glyphs`, `.ufo`, or `.designspace` files.
+
+The FONTLOG confirms: "There are 2 Source files: 1. Gafata-Regular-OTF.vfb... 2. Gafata-Regular-TTF.sfd..."
+
+### Config.yaml Assessment
+
+No `config.yaml` exists in the upstream repository. Creating an override config.yaml is not possible because gftools-builder cannot process SFD or VFB source files. The sources would need to be converted to a modern format (.glyphs, .ufo, or .designspace) before a config.yaml could be useful.
+
+### Branch Information
+
+The repository has only one branch: `master` (default).
+
+### Historical Context
+
+The FONTLOG documents:
+- Initial release: October 30, 2012 (v4.001) by Lautaro Hourcade
+- Last update: March 1, 2013 (v4.002) - updated metrics, fixed Z metrics bug
+- Original source was hosted on Google Code (now defunct): `http://code.google.com/p/googlefontdirectory/`
+
+## Conclusion
+
+Gafata has a known upstream repository at `librefonts/gafata` with a single commit (`dcd42b7`). However, the sources are in legacy formats (SFD/VFB) that are not compatible with gftools-builder. No config.yaml can be created without first converting the sources to a modern format. The status is `no_config_possible`.
+
+### Recommended METADATA.pb Source Block
+
+```
+source {
+  repository_url: "https://github.com/librefonts/gafata"
+  commit: "dcd42b72333486b9704c2d3736e3c26b0346cb67"
+  branch: "master"
+}
+```
+
+Note: No `config_yaml` field is included because the upstream repo only has SFD/VFB sources that are incompatible with gftools-builder.
