Open Sans

Description

Open Sans is a humanist sans-serif typeface designed by Steve Matteson and commissioned by Google. It features upright stress, open forms, and a neutral, yet friendly appearance that makes it highly readable at all sizes. The letterforms are optimized for excellent clarity on screen and in print.

The design is characterized by wide apertures and clear, simple letterforms that enhance readability, especially in small sizes and on digital screens. Open Sans includes a complete range of weights from Light to ExtraBold, each with matching italics, making it an extremely versatile choice for body text, headings, and user interface design. Its neutral appearance works well across different languages and cultures, which is why it has become one of the most popular fonts for websites, mobile applications, and digital publications worldwide.
