Source Han Sans is a set of open-source Pan-CJK OpenType sans-serif fonts covering Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese, Japanese, and Korean, including variable font formats. The repository also provides all source files needed to rebuild the fonts with the Adobe Font Development Kit for OpenType (AFDKO).

Use cases

need a free CJK font for a website
display Chinese, Japanese, and Korean text consistently across platforms
embed Pan-CJK fonts in an application or document
build custom OpenType CJK fonts from source
find a variable font supporting CJK scripts
localize software UI for East Asian languages

When to choose

you need high-quality, freely licensed Pan-CJK sans-serif typography
you want consistent CJK rendering across Simplified/Traditional Chinese, Japanese, and Korean
you need variable font or WOFF2 formats for web use

When to avoid

you need a Latin-only or non-CJK typeface
you need a serif CJK font (use Source Han Serif instead)
you want a font library for programmatic font manipulation rather than font files
