Source Sans 3
A current, relatively restrained sans serif updated from Source Sans Pro with added Greek and Cyrillic support and slight design refinements for modern text and UI work.
성능과 비교
Teams wanting a dependable, low-drama interface and content sans with broad everyday usefulness and modest implementation demands.
- Small-size legibility and spacing
- Adobe’s current description notes added Greek and Cyrillic plus slight design updates, and Typographica praises Source Sans for short UI labels and functional screen text. The usage evidence also shows it working in body-text and interface roles, supporting solid small-size legibility.
- Hierarchy across UI sizes
- Source Sans 3 offers a useful weight ladder and clean UI structure, but the retrieved evidence does not show a dedicated optical-size system or the same depth of hierarchy tuning as Roboto Flex. It is capable across UI roles, but not especially advanced here.
- Implementation quality and rendering behavior
- The family is presented as a refined current continuation rather than a sophisticated parametric system. That makes implementation straightforward and predictable, but there is less evidence of advanced rendering or responsive fine-tuning than for Roboto Flex.
- Coverage and licensing practicality
- Adobe and Google both present Source Sans 3 as open-source and easy to deploy, and the official description highlights broader language support than the predecessor. That makes it practical for everyday distribution and fallback planning, though not exhaustively audited script by script.
It is a strong general-purpose choice, but the evidence for advanced size-specific hierarchy and parametric adaptability is much lighter than for Roboto Flex.
