google-droid-sans-fonts Subpackage of google-droid-fonts

The Droid font family was designed in the fall of 2006 by Ascender’s Steve Matteson, as a commission from Google to create a set of system fonts for its Android platform. The goal was to provide optimal quality and comfort on a mobile handset when rendered in application menus, web browsers and for other screen text. The family was later extended in collaboration with other designers such as Pascal Zoghbi of 29ArabicLetters. Droid Sans is a humanist sans serif font family designed for user interfaces and electronic communication. The Arabic block was initially designed by Steve Matteson of Ascender under the Droid Kufi name, with consulting by Pascal Zoghbi of 29ArabicLetters to finalize the font family.
