A few days ago, Google launched the new serif font of the Roboto family, Roboto Serif (serif). It is reported that this font was created by Google in cooperation with Greg Gazdowicz, the designer of the font company Common Type, to provide users with a smooth experience in long-term reading scenarios.
Google said in the Robot Serif font manual, "This design is not only to add serifs to the original Roboto font, but to rethink the constituent elements of the font, including shape, contrast, etc., we not only consider the font and the adaptation of high-quality or low-quality screens, but also re-consider the font design from the original intention of screen reading."
In addition, Roboto Serif is a variable font that automatically adjusts in both length and width, as it also makes the file smaller and has less loading delay. At the same time, Google has also designed 6 optical sizes for this font to ensure that it can be automatically adjusted in a variety of devices to optimize the user's reading experience.
In fact, the Roboto font family was designed by Google for android systems in 2012, initially contained only sans-serif fonts, and was officially launched as the default font for Android 4.0 "Ice Cream Sandwich." At the same time, the font family, as the main font of Google's series of products, has also continued to introduce a series of variant designs over the years, including the thick serif font Roboto Slab, the widely used Product Sans (also known as "Pixel"),and Roboto Slab. The variable font Roboto Serif has been launched on the official website and can be downloaded for free.
