Add Aldot #10632

Description

@ThanosPoulakidas

https://github.com/ThanosPoulakidas/Aldot:

Aldot is a contemporary serif typeface that brings together the warmth of old-style forms and the clarity of the transitional tradition. Designed as a hybrid of these two influences, it offers excellent readability for long texts while maintaining an elegant presence in titles and display applications. Special attention has been given to the Greek alphabet, introducing subtle contemporary details that provide a refreshed and distinctive character.

In addition to its standard character set, Aldot includes old-style figures and a second set of alternative Greek lowercase forms, offering greater typographic flexibility and richness. By balancing tradition with contemporary refinement, Aldot provides a timeless yet fresh typographic voice for books, editorial design, and headings alike.

Requirements:

By opening this issue, I confirm the project meets the following requirements:

  • The entire font project is available in a Github repository (repo) and licensed under the OFL
  • The source files are available in the repo
  • I am the sole copyright author of the entire project, or all other copyright authors have licensed their work to me under the OFL, and I commit to clearly disclosing if AI tools were used in the creation of this project.
  • There are no "Reserved Font Names" in the OFL license information, or in the project documentation of any known upstream projects. If there are RFNs, they are not used in whole or in part in this family name, or, I want to discuss how Google can work with my use of them.
  • The family name is unique according to namecheck.fontdata.com
  • The name of the font family expected to appear on app menus must be very clearly communicated and definitive. It should not include any copyright holder's full names or acronyms.
  • The font supports at least the Google Fonts 'Latin Core' glyphset from github.com/googlefonts/glyphsets (direct link)
  • The repo has the Google Fonts preferred upstream repo structure
  • I have read, agree with, and comply with, the full Google Fonts contributing requirements
  • I will maintain the repository and participate in the onboarding process (addressing, solving, and responding to issues, merging pull requests, etc)
