Source Sans Pro

Description

Source Sans Pro is Adobe’s first open-source typeface family, designed by Paul D. Hunt. Created specifically to work well in user interfaces and at small sizes on screen, it represents a significant contribution to the open-source typography community by one of the world’s leading design software companies.

The typeface draws inspiration from twentieth-century American gothic sans-serif designs, but with modern proportions and a clean, rational structure optimized for digital environments. Source Sans Pro features excellent spacing and carefully crafted letterforms that maintain clarity even at small sizes. The family includes six weights from ExtraLight to Black, each with roman and italic styles. Its neutral yet distinctive character makes it suitable for a wide range of applications, from user interface design to long-form reading.
