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.
This is the SemiCondensed family, which can be used alongside the normal Roboto family and the Roboto Slab family.
Google Fonts collaborates with type designers, foundries and the design community worldwide to create a directory of open source fonts. The fonts are free to use, making beautiful type accessible to anyone for any project.
