<p>Charis is optimized for readability in long printed documents. It
is highly readable and holds up well in less-than-ideal reproduction
environments due to its simple and robust design with strong serifs
and clear features.</p>

<h3 id="note-regarding-charter">Note regarding Charter</h3>
<p>This Charis font is essentially the same design as the SIL Charis
font first released by SIL in 1997. The design of the basic
character set of Charis is similar (but not identical) to Bitstream
Charter, designed by Matthew Carter. The following notice
accompanied the Charter fonts:</p>
<blockquote>

outline fonts for any purpose and without restriction; provided,
that this notice is left intact on all copies of such fonts and that
Bitstream's trademark is acknowledged as shown below on all
unmodified copies of the 4 Charter Type 1 fonts.</p>
