About Roboto
Roboto has a dual nature.
It has a mechanical skeleton and the forms are largely geometric.
At the same time, the font features friendly and open curves.
While some grotesks distort their letterforms to force a rigid rhythm, Roboto doesn’t compromise, allowing letters to be settled into their natural width.
This makes for a more natural reading rhythm more commonly found in humanist and serif types.
Updated July 2020: Upgraded to a variable font with Weight and Width axes, that closely match the previous static fonts released as two families, this one and a sibling Roboto Condensed family.
Roboto is part of a superfamily set that includes Roboto Slab and Roboto Mono
