Description : largely geometric, friendly and open curves font
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 normal family, which can be used alongside the Roboto Condensed
family and the Roboto Slab family.
.
This package also provides Css, Scss and LESS files to use webfonts from this
package.
This package will be used by the next version of OpenStack Dashboard, aka
Horizon, through a python-xstatic-roboto-fontface package.
