Roboto Flex upgrades Roboto so it becomes a more powerful typeface system.
With Flex, you can customize Roboto to express and finesse your text in ways
never before possible. Today, people are constantly switching between devices,
resizing browsers, and
 spreading our viewports across multiple screens. So Google commissioned Font
Bureau to re-imagine Roboto to “flex” along with us, with a special
emphasis on large-screen capabilities. This was achieved by amplifying the
original design to an extreme
 range of weights, grades, widths and optical sizes.

 The second benefit of Roboto Flex is the designer’s ability to fitness and
fine-tune their designs with parametric axes. Font Bureau first demonstrated
the concept of parametric
 axes in Amstelvar Alpha (2017), to provide the ultimate in typographic
flexibility. With early prototypes of Roboto Flex, Font Bureau demonstrated
new solutions to the typographic problems
 that digital designers face. Demonstrations of high quality justification,
better dark-mode typography and other uses of parametric axes are documented
at variablefonts.typenetwork.com

 The needs of developers, designers, and — of course — end-user readers
were prioritized and aligned during development. To make Roboto Flex
production-ready for all print and digital media, Font Bureau expanded the
glyph set with careful planning and
 development, in partnership with script experts for Cyrillic and Greek.
Rigorous testing of each glyph across every axis required new type design
tools to be developed, like typetools and videoproof,
 which can be used to explore the depth of the design.

 The final file size of the complete package is remarkably small, given the
range of expressive styles now available. By driving variable fonts technology
to its limits, it offers the most interesting and useful typographic tools for
end users and designers.
 With a fully loaded Optical Size axis, Roboto Flex makes the layout of texts
with deep hierarchies more straightforward and heightens the quality of every
design that uses it.

 And none of this would be possible without the long list of contributors
involved. Special thanks to David Berlow, Santiago Orozco, Ilya Ruderman,
