Description
Designed by Erik Spiekermann, Ralph du Carrois, Anja Meiners, Botio Nikoltchev of Carrois Type Design, and Patryk Adamczyk of Mozilla Corporation, Fira Sans is a slightly wider and calmer adaptation of Spiekermann's typeface Meta. Initially developed for Firefox OS, it offers 16 weights with corresponding italics, and includes text figures and small caps.
