- Description
- Originally designed by Steve Matteson for Google in 2011, Open Sans is an open source humanist sans-serif font based on the designer's earlier work, Droid Sans. Known for its wide apertures and large x-height, it offers excellent legibility on screens and at small sizes. Popular in flat design-style web design, this font features a true italic style and is part of the humanist genre of sans-serif typefaces. As of March 2021, an updated variable font version now supports Hebrew characters. Its design is optimized for legibility across various interfaces, making it a versatile choice for both print and digital designs.
