## Summary

## Source Repository

## Investigation Details

### Designer Profile

Kimberly Geswein runs KG Fonts (kimberlygeswein.com), where she has produced over 350 fonts since 2006. Her website focuses on commercial font sales and does not link to any GitHub or open-source repositories. No GitHub account was found for "kimberlygeswein".

### GitHub Search

GitHub repository search for "kimberly geswein" found only `googlefonts/indieflower` (a different font by the same designer) and an AUR archive package. Search for "OvertheRainbow" found only `librefonts/overtherainbow` (a librefonts mirror).

### Librefonts Mirror

The `librefonts/overtherainbow` repository (https://github.com/librefonts/overtherainbow) contains the same VFB and SFD source files as the googlefontdirectory-hg monorepo. It is a librefonts mirror, not the designer's canonical repository.

## Conclusion

The original design sources for Over the Rainbow are preserved in the `googlefontdirectory-hg` monorepo as VFB and SFD files. These are legacy formats not buildable with gftools-builder. No modern sources or canonical designer-owned repository exist.
