Merriweather Sans can be a low-contrast semi-condensed sans-serif text typeface family made to be pleasant to study at really small sizes. Merriweather Sans is conventional in feeling regardless of the modern day shapes it has adopted for screens.
Merriweather Sans is an evolving project and can be updated. As of now you will discover eight styles: Light, Common, Bold, and ExtraBold weights in Roman and Italic types.
There’s also Merriweather, a serif version which closely harmonizes with the weights and types of this sans-serif household.
Developed by Eben Sorkin, Merriweather Sans characteristics a sizable x height, slightly condensed letterforms, a mild diagonal stress and open types.
Merriweather Sans is really a operate in progress and will be improved routinely. This suggests you can request improvements as well as fund specific options if if they’re outdoors of your present scope of work.

Updated in June 2013 with italic types.
Updated in January 2016: This revision improves on-screen rendering in particular at text sizes with ttfautohint hinting. Merriweather Sans will operate much better when installed on desktops. Some OpenType options were added and enhanced. Since the vertical and horizontal metrics changed, this may perhaps trigger some text to reflow in some browsers. A second update (v1.006) was produced on 1/25 to fix ligatures and other digraphs.
