Roboto does have a few small changes at the individual character level. So it’s worth thinking about how our digital experiences of Gmail will change now that Arial’s out and Roboto’s in.īoth Arial and Roboto are modern-feeling, sans-serif fonts, and, letter by letter, they are fairly similar. Product Sans will be a relatively light design touch for things like headers and menus, but Roboto will impact the majority of words that hundreds of millions of people read every day. It’s now the primary font in the Android operating system and, if the Gmail redesign is any indication, likely to become Google’s default across all its platforms.
Roboto resembles Arial or Helvetica Google has been iterating on the font since 2011. Product Sans is a Futura-like font that Google designed in 2015 for branding purposes you may recognize it from the current Google logo, which replaced the old, serif-font logo also in 2015. Both Product Sans and Roboto are fonts created by Google, and, if the leaked redesign comes to fruition, they’ll be a welcome change. The Gmail interface font (menu items, for example) will change from Arial to Product Sans, while the default font for email and messages will change from Arial to Roboto.
The text that used the deactivated font will change back to the default Arial. But for font nerds, the big news is about the display. Learn how to add and use fonts in your Foleon Doc.
