About Linux Libertine

Linux Libertine is a typeface released in 2003 by the Libertine Open Fonts Project, which aims to create free and open alternatives to proprietary typefaces such as Times New Roman. It was developed with the free font editor FontForge and is licensed under the GNU General Public License and the SIL Open Font License. In 2009, the project released Linux Biolinum: it is a sans serif font designed to pair well with Libertine. It resembles Optima. In 2012, a monospaced serif font face was released, Linux Libertine Mono.
