# Souliyo — Upstream Investigation

**Model**: Claude Opus 4.6
**Date**: 2026-03-12
**Investigator**: AI agent (Claude) under guidance of @felipesanches

## Summary

Souliyo does not have a `METADATA.pb` file and is in Early Access status.
No canonical upstream repository with UFO or Glyphs source files was found.

## Research

Souliyo is a Unicode font for the Lao language, designed by Souliyo Vongdala
with OpenType engineering support from Danh Hong, as documented in
`DESCRIPTION.en_us.html`. The font is in Early Access status (indicated by
the presence of `EARLY_ACCESS.category`). Searches for a public GitHub
repository maintained by Souliyo Vongdala or Danh Hong returned no results.

## Decision

No `source` block was added. The font does not have a `METADATA.pb` file in
the standard format, and no publicly accessible source repository was found.

## Notes

Souliyo supports the Lao script. The font is in Early Access status on Google
Fonts, meaning it has not yet been fully reviewed and published as a standard
Google Fonts family.
