Work Sans is a typeface family based loosely on early Grotesques, such as those by <a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/stewf/14444337254/">Stephenson Blake</a>, <a href="https://archive.org/stream/printingtypespec00millrich#page/226/mode/2up/">Miller & Richard</a> and <a href="https://archive.org/stream/hauptprobeingedr00baue#page/109/mode/1up">Bauerschen Giesserei</a>.
|
|
The Regular weight and others in the middle of the family are optimised for on-screen text usage at medium-sizes (14px-48px) and can also be used in print design.
|
|
The fonts closer to the extreme weights are designed more for display use both on the web and in print.
|
|
Overall, features are simplified and optimised for screen resolutions; for example, diacritic marks are larger than how they would be in print.
|
|
A version optimised for desktop applications is available from the Work Sans github project page.

The Work Sans project is led by Wei Huang, a type designer from Australia.

<b>Updated August 2015:</b> All styles were updated to v1.40 to change the Thin (100) style to be the same as 'HairLine' in previous versions - even thinner!
|
|
This avoids the complication of a second "Hairline" family.
|
|
The ExtraLight (200) and Light (300) styles also changed accordingly.
|
|
Reflow will occur from previous versions on these weights.
