## Summary

## Designer

Vernon Adams — newtypography.co.uk

## Repository Search

A search for canonical upstream repositories was conducted on GitHub. Searches for "smythe font", "smythe newtypography", and repositories by Vernon Adams returned no relevant font repositories. The only results were unrelated personal repositories and:

- **librefonts/smythe** — a librefonts mirror (excluded per policy).

No repository owned by Vernon Adams containing UFO or Glyphs sources was found. Vernon Adams passed away in 2014; his work is preserved via Google Fonts.

## Status

No canonical upstream repository with UFO or Glyphs sources was found. No source block was added.

## Confidence

Low — No public source repository was found. The font predates widespread open-source font hosting and the original creator is deceased.
