Kelsey Higham developed and maintained the font metadata and configuration infrastructure for the lipu-linku/sona repository, focusing on scalable catalog management and licensing clarity. Over 11 months, Kelsey expanded the font library by integrating dozens of new fonts, each with detailed TOML metadata files describing properties, licensing, and features. Their work emphasized configuration management, data standardization, and repository hygiene, enabling efficient onboarding and discoverability of font assets. By leveraging TOML and robust documentation practices, Kelsey established a maintainable, metadata-driven workflow that improved asset governance, licensing compliance, and downstream integration, supporting both current and future font management needs within the project.
