Google Publishes Google Sans Flex on Google Fonts Under Open Font License

The variable, scale-adaptive typeface that underpins Material 3 Expressive is poised for wider third-party uptake.

Overview

  • Google Sans Flex is now publicly downloadable from Google Fonts for use in apps, websites, and products.
  • The release is licensed under the Open Font License, permitting free reuse by developers and designers.
  • Google describes the font as the next generation of its brand typeface with letterforms that shape‑shift at different scales.
  • The typeface already appears across Google products, including parts of Pixel software, and it provides the base for the Rounded variant in Material 3 Expressive after an initial 2023 debut.
  • Early external adoption has started with the Inware app adding support, with broader use expected to roll out over time.
