Consider switching to Google Sans Text

Open parlough opened this issue 3 years ago • 5 comments

Describe the problem

We already use Google Sans and Google Sans Display for various locations on the site and headers. It would be nice to standardize on Google Sans for body text as well to maintain a consistent style.

Expected fix

  • Add header to head.html to import the new font
  • Remove Roboto links
  • Update style references to Roboto to Google Sans Text with a fallback to Roboto still since others hosting the site cannot access the font.

Additional context

For reference, the Material 3 Website use Google Sans Text for its body text.

Can anyone speak to if we are allowed to use this font? I know we already use Google Sans and Google Sans Display, but these ones are newer I believe, so maybe could have extra requirements? There are no external guidelines, so I just want to make sure.

I would be happy to help with this if those fonts still need to be swapped.

Thanks for the offer to help @bumpylumps. I'm not sure this is the best direction yet and it will require further coordination elsewhere as well. I'll let you know if we want to continue with this :)
