fontpkg

Fonts as ordinary Python project dependencies. Inspired by Fontsource.

uv add fontpkg fontpkg-roboto

import fontpkg

fontpkg.path("Roboto")                            # Path to 400/normal
fontpkg.path("Roboto", weight=700, style="italic")
fontpkg.path("Roboto", weight=650, nearest=True)

fam = fontpkg.family("Roboto")   # .weights, .styles, .axes, .is_variable, .license
fontpkg.families()               # everything installed in the environment

Integrations (extras fontpkg[pil], fontpkg[matplotlib]):

from fontpkg.pil import truetype
img_font = truetype("Roboto", size=24, weight=500)   # sets VF weight axis for you

from fontpkg.mpl import use
prop = use("Roboto", set_default=True)

Font packages are generated from google/fonts (OFL/Apache-licensed families only) — see the repository root for the generator.
