+    With short ascenders and a very high x-height, Poly is efficient in small
+    sizes. Thanks to its careful balance between the x-height and glyph widths,
+    it allows more economy and legibility than standard web serifs, even in
+    small sizes. The aglutinative language for which it was designed contains
+    very long words. The goal was to develop a typeface that would tolerate
+    cramped tracking and that would increase the number of letters on a single
+    line. Poly is a Unicode typeface family that supports Open Type features
+    and languages that use the Latin script and its variants.
