History[]

Google Fonts was launched in 2010[5] and revamped in 2011,[6] 2016,[7] and 2020.[8]

On March 3, 2020, Google updated the catalog website with support for variable fonts.[citation needed] On 2 March 2021, the Google Fonts team announced they were adding support for open source icons.[9]

As of August 2021, Google Fonts had 1094 font families,[10] including 112 variable font families.

Fonts library[]

The library is maintained through Google Fonts' GitHub repository, where all font files can be obtained directly. Source files for many of the fonts are available from git repositories within the Google Fonts' GitHub organization, along with libre software tools used by the Google Fonts community.

Licences and distribution[]

Most of the fonts are released under the SIL Open Font License 1.1, while some are released under the Apache License;[11] both are libre licenses.

The font library is also distributed by Monotype's SkyFonts and Adobe's Edge Web Fonts and Adobe Fonts (formerly Typekit) services.
