Hello Dov!

I've been thinking a while about creating a matching font for Vera family.
I do intend to create sans-serif and monospace fonts in this spirit, but
this would take a while... (a big while). Meanwhile, thank you for the
name "Vered"! I've been looking for a good name, but made up nothing good.

Maxim.
