About Open Sans

Steve Mattesonが制作したこのヒューマニストサンセリフは、直立したストレスとオープンなアパーチャーにより、あらゆるスクリーンサイズと解像度での可読性を優先しています。これまでに公開されたウェブフォントの中で最も広く展開されているもののひとつで、ボディコピー、メールテンプレート、ウェブアプリケーションに適した中立的でプロフェッショナルなトーンを持ちます。バリアブルの幅とウェイト軸に加え、ヘブライ文字とギリシャ文字のスクリプトサポートにより、多言語対応の汎用書体として機能します。

Typography Concepts

  • Aperture

    The opening of a partially enclosed counter in letters like 'c', 'e', 's'. Wider apertures generally improve readability at small sizes.

  • Sans Serif

    A typeface without serifs — 'sans' means 'without' in French. Clean, modern appearance popular in digital design.

  • Neo-grotesque

    Refined sans-serif style from the 1950s with uniform strokes and neutral appearance. The dominant style in modern UI design.

  • Humanist Sans

    Sans-serif typefaces inspired by Renaissance handwriting with organic stroke variation. Warmer and more readable than geometric styles.

  • Legibility

    How easily individual characters can be distinguished from each other — an intrinsic quality of the typeface design itself.

  • WCAG Typography

    Web Content Accessibility Guidelines as applied to text — minimum contrast ratios (4.5:1 AA, 7:1 AAA), resizable text, and no images of text.
