About:
Halant is a Python-based tool designed to streamline font development workflows, particularly for the It Foundry. It provides utilities for managing font sources, building releases, and handling metadata, simplifying the complex process of creating and distributing typefaces.

Key Features:

Automated font build and release pipeline
Metadata management for font families
Command-line interface for font developers
Integration with version control for font assets

Use Cases:

Automating the build process for OpenType font files
Managing versioning and release tagging for font projects
Standardizing font family metadata across a foundry

Alternatives:

fontmake – fontmake is a standard industry tool for compiling fonts from source; Halant may offer more specific workflow automation for It Foundry's internal processes.
gftools – gftools provides a broad suite of utilities for font analysis and fixing; Halant focuses more on the build and release management aspect.
