◆ Requester: replace the preceding paragraph with a package description proposal:
  — who designed this font family,
  — how can its style be described,
  — what unusual world scripts does it add support for,
  — what's its intended use (Titling…).
◆ Packager: correct the proposal and replace it with the final package summary.
