The source repository for Roboto, Google's signature font family used as the default on Android and Chrome OS and recommended for Material Design. It includes the Python-based toolchain used to build the fonts, though the project has moved to roboto-3-classic.
Use cases
- download the Roboto font family for a web project
- build Roboto fonts from source
- customize Roboto glyphs for a design system
- find the default Android font
- get Material Design typography assets
When to choose
- you need the Roboto font files or their original sources
- you want to study or fork the legacy Roboto build toolchain
When to avoid
- you want active development or updates - use googlefonts/roboto-3-classic instead
- you need a ready-made webfont without building - use Google Fonts
- you require Python 3 tooling - this toolchain requires Python 2
