<p>As part of our larger effort to make great type accessible in more languages, Google Fonts is pleased to announce that the Japanese type foundry <a href="https://en.morisawa.co.jp/">Morisawa</a> has made 2 <a href="https://fonts.google.com/?query=morisawa&subset=japanese">BIZ Universal Design (UD) font families</a> available on Google Fonts, under the <a href="http://scripts.sil.org/OFL">SIL Open Font License</a>. These Gothic and Mincho designs, available in regular and bold weights and proportional and full width styles, are now also available in <a href="https://workspace.google.com/features/">Google Workspace</a>.</p>
<p>“Having these fonts available in Japan allows Google Education to align with the most widely used fonts in education publishing in Japan,” said Stuart Miller, Head of Marketing for Google Education in Asia Pacific (APAC). “This makes it easier for partners to collaborate with Google Education. It also ensures a more consistent, inclusive, delightful experience for the millions of teachers and students that use Google tools.”</p>
<p>Drawing on extensive end-user evaluation, the BIZ UD typefaces were developed using the <a href="https://universaldesign.ie/what-is-universal-design/the-7-principles/the-7-principles.html">principles of universal design</a> (UD) to ensure <a href="https://fonts.google.com/knowledge/glossary/legibility_readability">legibility</a> (the ease of differentiating individual characters) and <a href="https://fonts.google.com/knowledge/glossary/legibility_readability">readability</a> (the ease of reading text overall). BIZ UD fonts are especially suited for conveying text accurately—for example, in educational settings, corporate communication environments, and other places that use <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Information_and_communications_technology">ICT</a>.</p>

<h3>Clean and clear: making reading easier with Lexend</h3>
<p>A key factor in reading problems might be hiding in plain sight. Learn how changing fonts can change comprehension.</p>
<p>A child struggles to read and understand their homework assignment. An adult re-reads a news article and still doesn’t understand what it’s about. Both readers end up frustrated and feeling like there is something wrong with them. Thankfully there might be a simple answer. Dr. Bonnie Shaver-Troup thinks fonts are part of the problem and the solution to many reading problems.</p>
<h3>Google’s most popular font gets customizable with the launch of Roboto Flex</h3>

<p>Get it on <a href="https://fonts.google.com/specimen/Roboto+Flex">Google Fonts</a>.</p>
<p>There’s no perfect typeface that works for every size, every device, every application, every style, and every mood. But as the default for Android, with over 2.5 billion active users spanning over 190 countries, <a href="https://fonts.google.com/specimen/Roboto">Roboto</a> needs to be as flexible as possible.</p>
<p>Roboto is Google Fonts’ most popular download (you’re reading this blog post in Roboto). It was first released all the way back in 2011, but it’s been updated over the years to improve its language support and aesthetic qualities. The Roboto <a href="https://fonts.google.com/knowledge/glossary/superfamily">superfamily</a> has grown from the initial <a href="https://fonts.google.com/specimen/Roboto">sans</a> and <a href="https://fonts.google.com/specimen/Roboto+Condensed">condensed</a> to span <a href="https://fonts.google.com/?query=roboto">Roboto Slab, Roboto Mono,</a> and—most recently—<a href="https://material.io/blog/roboto-serif">Roboto Serif</a>.</p>

<h3>Introducing <a href="https://fonts.google.com/specimen/Space+Mono?query=space+mono">Space Mono</a> a monospaced typeface by Colophon Foundry for <a href="https://fonts.google.com/">Google Fonts</a>.</h3>
<p>As designers of type, we most often find ourselves composing a monospaced (sometimes called a fixed-width, fixed-pitch, or non-proportional) typeface in the service of building out the styles of an accompanying proportional type family or type system. It’s about adapting the proportional type’s forms and rules, and discovering how those letterforms behave within fixed limits to give the face new texture and capability. But what if that constraint was embraced? What if we set out to create a monospaced typeface that wasn’t simply an extension, but rather something unto itself?</p>
