## What Was Done
The existing source metadata was reviewed. A complete `source` block was present, pointing to the notofonts/nko GitHub repository (same as Noto Sans NKo) with an associated archive release at NotoSansNKoUnjoined-v2.004.

## Notes
- Designer: Google
- Script: NKo (Nkoo)
- Category: SANS_SERIF
- Variable axis: wght (400–700)
- Unjoined variant of Noto Sans NKo; renders NKo characters in isolation rather than joined form; supports Bambara, Dyula, Mandingo, and N'Ko; added to Google Fonts in 2023.
