## What it is
Work Sans is an open-source grotesque sans-serif typeface family with nine weights plus italics and variable font files, designed by Wei Huang. It is optimized for on-screen medium-sized text (14px–48px), covers the Google Latin Expert glyph set including Vietnamese, and is published under the SIL Open Font License.

## Use cases
- find a free sans-serif font for web UI text
- download a variable font family with multiple weights
- get a typeface that supports Vietnamese and extended Latin languages
- use a Google Fonts-style grotesque in print and on screen
- self-host an OFL-licensed font for a website
- pick a display font for extreme weights

## When to choose
- you need a versatile sans-serif for screen reading at 14px–48px
- you need broad Latin language coverage including Vietnamese
- you want an open license (OFL-1.1) allowing embedding and redistribution
- you want variable font files or italics

## When to avoid
- you need non-Latin scripts such as CJK, Arabic, or Cyrillic
- you need a monospaced or serif typeface
- you need a font with extensive OpenType layout features for complex typography
