Description

Yu Gothic is a standard sans serif type family designed to be highly readable for setting a large volume of text. Its character size is designed relatively small and has comfortable letter space between each letter that individual character stands out and is able to maintain legibility in typesetting. Yu Gothic consists of seven weights and is versatile to be used from footnotes or main body to subhead and headlines.
