About Hubot Sans

Hubot Sans is a sans serif family built around two variable axes: weight, from 200 to 900, and width, from 75 to 125. At the default width the specimen shows wide, open letters with even strokes, a single-storey a, a capital I with top and bottom bars, and a zero marked with a stroke across its middle, details that keep similar characters apart. The eight named weights run from ExtraLight to Black, each with an italic, for 16 styles; upright and italic come as separate variable files. The 736 glyphs cover Latin, Latin Extended and Vietnamese. The font names GitHub, Inc. as manufacturer. Credits differ by source: the catalogue lists Tobias Bjerrome Ahlin, GitHub, Degarism Studio and Sebastian Carewe, while the name table gives Deni Anggara. The license is the SIL Open Font License 1.1.

Where Hubot Sans works

Developer product branding

A barred capital I and a marked zero give headings a technical accent while the letters stay proportional.

Responsive headlines

The width axis from 75 to 125 lets a headline be narrowed for a phone and widened for a desktop layout.

Dashboards and settings screens

Eight weights with italics supply labels, values, hints and emphasis from one family.

Identifiers and version strings in running text

Distinct shapes for I, 1 and 0 reduce misreading of codes without switching to a monospaced font.

Vietnamese interfaces

Vietnamese is covered in the 736-glyph set, next to Latin Extended.
