  Description     : Sans-serif font for decorative signs, one of the Warsaw
Types

Apropal is a sans-serif display font for decorative signs (including vertical).
It contains one style variation - BOLD. Being one of the types included in the
Warsaw Types collection: a set made by professionals based on the Warsaw's
typography heirtage with a support of the Museum of Warsaw and the City of
Warsaw, it is inspired by the “Czytelnik” bookstore, the information signs
from Warsaw’s Zoo, and designs found in the “Lettering Techniques” book
manual, by Jan Wojeński. More information and the possibility to try the font
can be found on the web page (http://kroje.org/en/fonts/apropal/).

Why it should be included in Debian?
It is one of the types included in the Warsaw Types collection: a set made by
professionals based on the Warsaw's typography heritage with a support of the
Museum of Warsaw and the City of Warsaw, so they are not a simple remake of
some popular fonts.

Maintaining the package.
Font packages with none or little updates should be easy to maintain even for a
beginner.
