Source Sans (known as Source Sans Pro before 2021)[1] is a sans-serif typeface created by Paul D. Hunt, released by Adobe in 2012.

[3][4] The typeface is inspired by the forms of the American Type Founders' gothics by Morris Fuller Benton, such as News Gothic, Lightline Gothic and Franklin Gothic, modified with both a larger x-height and character width and more humanist-influenced italic forms.

[5] It is available in seven weights (Regular, ExtraLight, Light, Medium, Semibold, Bold, Black) in upright and italic styles, and is also available as a variable font with continuous weight values from 200 to 900.

[6] The typeface has wide language support for Latin script, including Western and Eastern European languages, Vietnamese, pinyin romanization of Chinese, and Navajo.

[3] Adobe's training material highlights it as having a more consistent colour on the page than the rather condensed News Gothic it is based on.
