Check out Nicole Cozma's post covering the site, and how to use it. If Roboto isn't cutting it for you, you can find plenty of fonts from Google's Web Fonts. Create your next school project, write your next love letter, or simply use it as your daily font. Looking at your query description I understand that your are unable to see the Roboto font installed from Google-font listed in XD. But as I said other Softwares such as illustrator was handling new fonts. Included with the download is a Specimen book laying out some general guidelines for designing with Roboto, as well as a note stating the fonts can be used "without restriction." In other words-have at it. The problem got solved with the restart of my computer. The process varies depending on your OS, but generally double-clicking on the TTF file and then clicking on Install will do the trick. Since then, nearly 900 new families have been added to its ever-growing library. To install this font on a Mac, you would only need to click on the Install button.Īfter downloading the font files, you can either open each design's file and install it to your system or by adding the files to your system's Font folder. The Google Fonts platform first launched in 2010 with 19 font families, revolutionizing the way typography could be used on the web.

I think it renders crisply on screens and is very legible, even at smaller sizes. Despite being accused of being a frankenfont mashup of DIN and Helvetica, I’m personally quite fond of Roboto.

You can download a ZIP file containing all 16 variations of the font by visiting the Android Design site. Roboto is an open-source, grotesque sans-serif typeface designed by Christian Robertson in 2011 and released through Google. Late last week, Google posted it for all to download and use on their personal computer. Up until now, Roboto was limited to Android devices running ICS. When working on Ice Cream Sandwich, Google aimed to create a font made specifically for high-resolution screens.
