SIL Open Font License, 1.1Merriweather was designed to be a text face that is pleasant to read on screens.
Merriweather is an evolving project and will be updated. As of now there are 4 styles: Regular, Light, Bold, and Black. There are now Italic styles in each of these weights, too.
There is also Merriweather Sans, a sans-serif version which closely harmonizes with the weights and styles of this serif family.
Designed by Eben Sorkin, Merriweather features a very large x height, slightly condensed letterforms, a mild diagonal stress, sturdy serifs and open forms.
Merriweather is a work in progress and will be improved regularly. This means you can request improvements and even fund specific features if if they are outside of the current scope of work. For more information and to stay updated see Eben Sorkin's blog and Flickr stream, and the MerriweatherFnt Twitter microblog.
Updated in May 2013: Merriweather has been updated with a larger character set, and Italic styles have been added for all weights. (As one of the earliest families published in Google Web Fonts, Merriweather lacked proper subsetting, so this update introduces a default 'latin' subset that contains less characters, but loads faster. To use the full character set, update your API link to include the 'latin-ext' subset.)
One morning, when Gregor Samsa woke from troubled dreams, he found himself transformed in his bed into a horrible vermin. He lay on his armour-like back, and if he lifted his head a little he could see his brown belly, slightly domed and divided by arches into stiff sections. The bedding was hardly able to cover it and seemed ready to slide off any moment. His many legs, pitifully thin compared with the size of the rest of him, waved about helplessly as he looked.
