I think the info about which font we used as a base is relevant for
people who want to use the logo (with wordmark) and then write
something that looks consistent with by using the same(ish) font. In
this case, it's also important to mention we don't use the font as it
is because people could be mislead then and just write GNOME
themselves and think they reached the same result as if they were
using the logo.
