Fontsource Open Sans

The CSS and web font files to easily self-host the “Open Sans” font. Please visit the main Fontsource monorepo to view more details on this package.

Installation

Fontsource assumes you are using a bundler, such as Webpack, to load in CSS. Tools like CRA, Gatsby and Next.js are prebuilt example solutions that are compatible.

yarn add fontsource-open-sans // npm install fontsource-open-sans

Then within your app entry file or site component, import it in. For example in Gatsby, you could simply import it into your layout.js component or gatsby-browser.js for limited circumstances.

import "fontsource-open-sans" //require("fontsource-open-sans")

Fontsource allows you to select font subsets, weights and even individual styles, allowing you to cut down on payload sizes to the last byte! The default selection above, however, sticks to the Latin subset including all weights and styles.

import "fontsource-open-sans/latin-ext.css" // All weights and styles included.
import "fontsource-open-sans/cyrillic-ext-400.css" // All styles included.
import "fontsource-open-sans/greek-700-normal.css" // Select either normal or italic.

Alternatively, the same solutions could be imported via SCSS!

@import "~fontsource-open-sans/index";
@import "~fontsource-open-sans/vietnamese-300-italic";

These examples may not reflect actual compatibility. Please refer below.

Supported variables:

• Subsets: [cyrillic,cyrillic-ext,greek,greek-ext,latin,latin-ext,vietnamese]
• Weights: [300,400,600,700,800]
• Styles: [normal,italic]

Licensing

It is important to always read the license for every font that you use. Most of the fonts in the collection use the SIL Open Font License, v1.1. Some fonts use the Apache 2 license. The Ubuntu fonts use the Ubuntu Font License v1.0.
