Roboto is a sans-serif typeface family introduced with Android Ice Cream
This package contains a collections of fonts that offers improved
Sandwich operating system. Google describes the font as "modern, yet
on-screen readability characteristics and the pan-European WGL character set
approachable" and "emotional".
and solves the needs of developers looking for width-compatible fonts to
 
address document portability across platforms.
Roboto has a dual nature. It has a mechanical skeleton and the forms are
largely geometric. At the same time, the font features friendly and open
curves. While some grotesks distort their letterforms to force a rigid
rhythm, Roboto doesn’t compromise, allowing letters to be settled into
their natural width. This makes for a more natural reading rhythm more
commonly found in humanist and serif types.
