+      Cardo is a large Unicode font specifically designed for the needs of
+      classicists, Biblical scholars, medievalists, and linguists. It also
+      works well for general typesetting in situations where a high-quality Old
+      Style font is appropriate. Its large character set supports many modern
+      languages as well as those needed by scholars. Cardo also contains
+      features that are required for high-quality typography such as ligatures,
+      text figures (also known as old style numerals), true small capitals and
+      a variety of punctuation and space characters.
