+Northrup is a pixel font family inspired by classic video games such as the <i>Earthbound</i> series. It boasts eight different variants, each representing one of five different optical sizes and two widths, and either a serif or sans-serif subset. It supports a wide range of languages, covering the Latin, Greek, and Cyrillic alphabets.
 
-The main size, <i>Northrup Extended</i>, has a diverse set of features. It supports a wide range of languages, including the Latin, Greek, Cyrillic, and Inuit Syllabic scripts, and a diverse set of special characters, amounting to 1027 total glyphs.
+The main size, <i>Northrup Extended</i>, includes a diverse set of additional special characters. This includes the Inuit Syllabic script, alchemical systems, and digital control symbols, amounting to over 1100 total glyphs.
 
 It was developed for a long-abandoned game project of mine - but feel free to use it for whatever you want.

+## Building
+
+To build the font files from their sources, run `build.py`. This font requires Python 3, [FontTools](https://github.com/fonttools/fonttools), and [Bits N' Picas](https://github.com/kreativekorp/bitsnpicas) (as a JAR located in the parent directory) to build.
