Work Sans was made in part on the stolen lands of the Wurundjeri and Boon Wurrung people of the Kulin nations. I pay my respect to their elders, past, present and future. Sovereignty has never been ceded. Work Sans has been updated between 2018–2020 with accompanying italics, and variable font files and the character set has been expanded to the Google Latin Expert glyph set, which will now support Vietnamese along with these additional languages. Work Sans is a 9-weight typeface family based loosely on early Grotesques — i.e. Stephenson Blake, Miller & Richard, and Bauerschen Giesserei. The core of the fonts are optimized for on-screen medium-sized text usage (14px-48px) – but still can be used in print well. The fonts at the extreme weights are designed more for display use. Overall, features are simplified and optimized for screen resolutions.
