Making Material Design: Refining Roboto

Its been 8 years with what i call, Material Roboto, and to me, it feels really stale and boring to me now.
It's probably since Roboto has been used... welp, pretty much everywhere on most Android apps. Im glad they're changing the font, but there's still something about Material Roboto... i don't know what, but there's something that makes it feel... well, androidy.

Reading this in roboto, while making a website that uses roboto in VS code and using the roboto mono.

Little did anyone know the Android font began creeping to civilization

Roboto is a special font for Android system. And do not print sheets.

Release date: May 21, 2015

The new Roboto

I am using Comic Sans everywhere. Any other font I fix 'on screen'.

What software did Christian use to create the Roboto font?

The numbers 6 and 9 are looking like crap in this new version like they were copied from the Myriad font

Love the detail in the videos!

Ah, so this is why Roboto lost its fizz. It's not Roboto anymore.

Love Roboto font!

When will you publish updted version on google font? I really like the new one.

"LET'S REFINE THIS FONT, THEN USE THE OLD UGLY ASS VERSION FUCKING EVERYWHERE, INCLUDING NATIVE APPS THAT ARE SUPPOSED TO BE MATERIAL AND ALL OVER THE DAMN PLACE IN THE KEYNOTE, BECAUSE FUCK CONSISTENCY."

I hate this font

i love their music! where to get them?

So awesome seeing Google improving the design, and i love to see the attention to detail. I feel like Kitkat and below didn't have any of that, so... great job Google design team!

Fact: You are reading this comment in Roboto.

Well roboto doesn't look and feels like a balance font. I mean the width and height of every font. It looks like they are going to fall off from standing

Ha, love the placement Josef Müller-Brockmann's book on the shelf in the background. Too bad CSS doesn't do us any favors with typography or the grid system for that matter. =(
