Popular sans serif typeface1/10/2023 ![]() Noto Sans is great for body text and paragraphs and is very similar to Open Sans in the sense that it is geometrical and very easy to read. Noto Sans was derived from Droid Sans, Android's popular sans-serif font, and just like Droid Sans, Noto Sans has a sister font as well, Noto Serif. Noto Sans covers over 30 scripts and will eventually cover Unicode characters as well. Noto Sans, a web font designed by Google was created in order to provide all web users a font that would render and display in everything language. This is how the Noto font families got their name. ![]() We call those small boxes “tofu,” and we want to remove tofu from the Web.

It pairs excellently with Montserrat, Lato, Roboto, Raleway, Poppins, Josefin Sans, Nunito, Merriweather, Didot, and a variety of other fonts. Open Sans can be used for almost any type of website where a sans-serif is desired for paragraph and body text. We recommend not going above #222 on a white background and not going below #eee on a dark or black background. When using Open Sans for body text (400 weight), make sure to contrast with your font and your background very apparent as Open Sans has a lighter feel at this weight than most fonts on this list. While Open Sans is excellent for body text, and paragraphs, it is not as great of a choice for headers or displays. It is also an excellent choice for mobile applications and in print design. The combination of its upright stress, open forms, and a neutral, yet friendly appearance makes Open Sans one of, if not the most, legible web fonts available today. While only making #5 on this list, Open Sans is by far our favorite sans-serif font to use for body text and paragraphs. Lato pairs well with Montserrat, Roboto, Open Sans, Playfair Display, Proxima Nova, Ubuntu, Raleway, and Noto Sans. We think this improves the fonts readability, but this application is not necessary. Due to Lato's strong and tight structure, we usually increase the spacing between letters to something like: Lato can be used as a body font or for headers and displays. With the feeling of the Summer Łukasz Dziedzic It remains one of the most "corporate" fonts available as it has a perfect balance between its letters, has a strong structure, and a warm open feel. It was originally designed for one of Łukasz's corporate clients, but after the client went a different route for their branding, Lato became free for public use. Lato was designed in the summer of 2010 by Warsaw-based designer Łukasz Dziedzic ("Lato" means “Summer” in Polish). Lato, Pixel Brew's secondary font is one of our overall favorite fonts and has one of the broadest applications of any font on this list. It pairs well with many other sans-serif fonts including, Varela, Varela Round, Lato, Open Sans, and Source Sans Pro, and pairs nicely with some serif fonts including, PT Serif, Georgia, Playfair Display, and Lora. The font has a very large x-height, but has a lot more character than other sans-serif fonts such as Arial or Helvetica. Montserrat is a perfect font for headers (H1, H2, and H3) because of its simple, geometric capital letters. The result is a sans serif family with multiple versions and multiple possibilities, both in the editorial and corporate realm. Montserrat is a geometric style of type that has subtle optical adjustments. The letters that inspired this project have work, dedication, care, color, contrast, light and life, day and night!
