+[Jost*](http://indestructible-type.github.io/Jost.html)
+========
+
+Jost* is an original font created by indestructible type*. It is inspired by
+the 1920s German sans-serifs. This is version 3.5.
+
+Jost* is designed and maintained by [Owen Earl](https://ewonrael.github.io/), who is the creator of the font foundry [indestructible type*](http://indestructible-type.github.io).
+
+About
+-----
+During the 1920s there was a radical shift in German sans serif letterforms. A marriage between the
+precise geometry of earlier German sans serifs with the clean legibility of the humanists coming out of
+England, yielded a geometric sans serif that is so iconic that it still looks as futuristic and forward-
+thinking as it did almost 100 years ago. Jost* is an ode to this era of type design. Instead of trying to
+recreate it precisely, Jost* aims to capture the spirit, using the technologies of today.
+
+Jost* has 9 weights, ranging from Hairline to Black. It can support many languages, includes stylistic
+alternatives, and both tabular and proportional numbers. Using Jost* on the web is as easy as copying a
+line of code into your webpage and includes automatic updates. As of version 3.0, Jost* supports OpenType
+Variable Font technology that allows users to control the exact weight and italic of the font. Best of all
+Jost* is still being actively developed meaning it will continue to improve and future updates may include
+features requested by you! [Visit the website for more information!](http://indestructibletype.com/Jost)

+Building the Variable Font.
+---------------------------
+Jost* is licensed under the [SIL open type license](http://scripts.sil.org/cms/scripts/page.php?site_id=nrsi&id=OFL), meaning that it is free to use and modify. However, because of the difficulty
+associated with creating the OpenType Variable Font features, the compliled, functoning version of this font
+requires a payment of $10 or more on the website. However, if you'd like to build this font yourself using
+the source code, the follow the following instructions.
+
+1. Download the complete source code, either by cloning this repository or downloading the .zip file.
+
+2. Download and install:
+**fontmake** which can be found [here](https://github.com/googlei18n/fontmake)
+**gftools** which can be found [here](https://github.com/googlefonts/gftools)
+**ttfautohint** which can be found [here](https://www.freetype.org/ttfautohint/)
+
+3. Run the build.sh script located in the "scripts" folder. This should make both the variable and non-variable versions of the font.
