![]() ![]() Raspberry Pi OS featuring Piboto as the system font Reception It is specifically designed and currently the system font of Raspberry Pi OS (then Raspbian) as part of their desktop UI redesign. Piboto is a forked version of Roboto, including the original character styles as used before the 2014 redesign. This exception was removed in 2020 after Roboto was re-licensed from Apache to OFL. ĭue to this condition, the typeface had to be released in two combined licenses: the SIL Open Font License for original glyph designs for Inter and Apache License for the fallback Roboto glyphs and outlines. Inter changed its vertical glyph metrics since 2018, making it different from that of Roboto. Earlier versions of Inter (then "Interface" and "Inter UI") included glyphs and followed the vertical glyph metrics (ascender and descender) from Roboto, while Roboto glyphs were included as a fallback for characters which have not been (re-)designed in Inter. Inter was designed in 2017 by Rasmus Andersson who wanted a font that was easier to read on computer screens than Roboto while retaining its vertical proportions. The newly-redesigned version of Roboto is also offered in a wider range of font weights, adding Thin (100), Medium (500), and Black (900) alongside Light (300), Regular (400), and Bold (700). Punctuation marks and the tittles in the lowercase "i" and "j" were changed from square to rounded, the bottom surface of the top part of the number "1" points downwards instead of horizontal, the tail part of the numbers "6" and "9" have been slightly shortened (in resemblance to " Trebuchet MS"), and the entire typeface was made “slightly wider and rounder” with many changes in details. In 2014, Matias Duarte announced at Google I/O that Roboto was significantly redesigned for Android 5.0 "Lollipop". It also includes condensed styles in Light, Regular and Bold, also with matching oblique designs.Ģ014: "Material Design" redesign It includes Thin, Light, Regular, Medium, Bold and Black weights with matching oblique styles rather than true italics. ![]() The font was officially made available for free download on January 12, 2012, on the newly launched Android Design website.Ĭompared to Android's previous system font, the humanist sans-serif Droid, Roboto belongs to the neo-grotesque genre of sans-serif typefaces. The font was designed entirely in-house by Christian Robertson who previously had released an expanded Ubuntu Titling font through his personal type foundry Betatype. Since October 2022, Global News has also used Roboto in its on-air presentation, however the font is not used in main network presentation. Utsav Network uses Roboto for its wordmark. Roboto Condensed is used to display Information on European versions of Nintendo Switch packaging, including physical releases of games.
