`abntexto-ufc` is an unofficial, community-maintained LaTeX class for academic works at the Federal University of Ceará (UFC), Brazil. It is built on top of the `abntexto` class and provides UFC-oriented front matter, academic-work profiles, research-project and scientific-article profiles, bibliography integration, objects, and related formatting support.

## Requirements

- LaTeX2e;
- `abntexto` 1.1 or newer;
- `biblatex` and `biber` for bibliography workflows;
- additional LaTeX packages required by optional features selected by the document.

Version 3.0.5 is a maintenance patch release prepared for distribution and validated primarily against TeX Live 2026. Actual publication and acceptance are recorded separately in GitHub release records and CTAN notices.

## Installation

When installed through a TeX distribution, use:

```tex
\documentclass{abntexto-ufc}
```

The repository and the CTAN distribution use the same single project-owned runtime file: `abntexto-ufc.cls`. The tracked class is copied byte-for-byte into the CTAN package; no project-owned external `.def` runtime is required or distributed.

For manual installation, place `abntexto-ufc.cls` in a location visible to TeX and install the external `abntexto` dependency separately.

See `abntexto-ufc.pdf` for the package manual and `abntexto-ufc-example.tex` / `abntexto-ufc-example.pdf` for a minimal example.

## Institutional marks and fonts

No UFC logo, coat of arms, trademark asset, or other institutional mark is distributed with the CTAN package. Users who are authorized to use such an asset must provide it locally when using the CTAN installation.

The separate Template and Overleaf convenience bundles published on GitHub include the project-provided UFC coat-of-arms asset used by the canonical UFC-oriented example. Those bundles are not CTAN upload artifacts.

The project does not redistribute proprietary Microsoft Arial or Times New Roman font files in any distribution surface.

## Status

This project is not an official or UFC-homologated template unless the University explicitly grants that status. It is maintained as a community project and tracks applicable UFC and ABNT requirements through the project's documented evidence model.

## License

This work may be distributed and/or modified under the conditions of the LaTeX Project Public License, version 1.3c or later. See `LICENSE` for the full license text.
