## About Noto Sans

Noto Sans is a sans serif family with even strokes, open letter shapes and a tall lowercase, as the specimen shows. It is the Latin, Cyrillic and Greek member of Noto, a collection that aims to cover the world's writing systems, and the official notes present it as the companion for the script-specific Noto Sans fonts. That role explains the size of the character set: 4,503 glyphs, with subsets for Latin Extended, Cyrillic Extended, Greek Extended, Vietnamese and Devanagari. The family is variable on two axes, weight from 100 to 900 and width from 62.5 to 100. Roman and italic each have nine named weights, 18 styles in total. Google is credited as designer; the name table lists the Monotype Design Team. Noto Sans was added to Google Fonts in 2013.

## Where it works

- **Products shipped in many languages**: One family sets Latin, Cyrillic and Greek text, and sister Noto Sans fonts continue the design into other scripts.
- **App and web interfaces**: Open shapes and a tall lowercase keep labels and menus readable, with Medium and SemiBold for controls.
- **Documents and reports**: Regular with italics and nine weights covers body text, headings and footnotes from one family.
- **Dense tables and sidebars**: The width axis narrows the letters to 62.5 where columns are tight.
- **Fallback for missing characters**: A large glyph set reduces the empty boxes that appear when a font lacks a character.

## Things to know

- **Sister fonts cover other scripts**: Scripts beyond Latin, Cyrillic, Greek and Devanagari are served by separate families in the same collection.
- **Width only narrows**: The width axis runs from 62.5 to 100; there is no expanded setting.
- **Large files**: The variable files carry 4,503 glyphs, so subsetting helps on the web.
