Roboto Flex
Roboto with thirteen axes instead of one. Weight from 100 to 1000, width from 25 to 151, an optical size axis that redraws the letters for the size they are set at, a slant, and eight more that reach inside the design — counter width, thick and thin stroke, the height of the lowercase, the depth of the descenders. It is the most adjustable typeface Google has published, and the point of it is that a design system can hold one file and derive every style it needs from it rather than shipping fourteen. That flexibility is also the warning: most projects need three of those axes and should set the rest and forget them.

WOFF2
For putting Roboto Flex on a website. The complete font, repacked — same glyphs, same spacing, around 60% smaller than the .ttf, and read by every current browser.
WOFF2 · Latin only
39% smaller, and all the same weights. Everything a page in English, Turkish or a western European language needs — Türkçe included. Take the file above instead if you set Cyrillic, Greek or anything else outside the Latin alphabet.
Other formats
Made in your browser from the WOFF2 above — nothing is uploaded. The .ttf is the same font, though not the same bytes as the original: the exact file Google published is in the zip. Roboto Flex is not offered as .otf because that would mean redrawing every outline rather than repacking the file.

Questions
- Is Roboto Flex free for commercial use?
- Yes. Roboto Flex is released under the SIL Open Font License 1.1, which allows commercial use with no fee and no attribution requirement. You can use it in client work, in products you sell, on the web and in print. The one thing you may not do is sell the font file on its own. The licence is inside the download.
- Can I use Roboto Flex in a logo?
- Yes. The licence covers the font software, not the artwork you make with it, so a logo set in Roboto Flex belongs to you — including if you later register it as a trademark. You do not need permission and you do not owe anything to Font Bureau, David Berlow, Santiago Orozco, Irene Vlachou, Ilya Ruderman, Yury Ostromentsky, Mikhail Strukov. What the licence stops you doing is redistributing the font file itself as a product.
- How do I install Roboto Flex?
- Download the zip and unzip it. On a Mac, select the 1 font file inside and open them, then press Install Font. On Windows, select them, right-click and choose Install. Restart any application that was already open before it will show up. Roboto Flex is a variable font: the single file carries all 10 weights at once. Some older software — Word, Canva, and Photoshop before 2018 — reads only the one weight the file defaults to, and for Roboto Flex that is the regular weight.
- Does Roboto Flex support Turkish?
- Yes. Roboto Flex includes the characters Türkçe needs that plain Latin does not — the dotless ı, the dotted İ, and ğ, ş, ü, ö and ç in both cases. This was checked against the font file itself, not assumed from the fact that it covers Latin.
- What languages does Roboto Flex support?
- Yes. Roboto Flex covers Latin, Latin Extended, Turkish, Cyrillic, Cyrillic Extended, Greek and Vietnamese, across 948 glyphs. Anything outside those alphabets is not included — the character map further up this page shows exactly what you get.
- Is there a smaller, Latin-only version of Roboto Flex?
- Yes — the "WOFF2 · Latin only" button on this page. It is 470 KB against 774 KB for the complete file, 39% smaller, with every weight the family has still in it. It covers Latin and Latin Extended, which is everything a page in English, Turkish or a western European language sets — Türkçe included, since ı, İ, ğ and ş all live in that range. Take the complete file instead if you set Cyrillic, Greek or any alphabet outside Latin.
- Where can I download Roboto Flex as WOFF2?
- From the WOFF2 button on this page — the file is roboto-flex.woff2, and it is about 774 KB. It is the complete font repacked for the web rather than a cut-down copy: the same glyphs, the same spacing and the same hinting as the .ttf in the download, roughly 60% smaller. Every browser still receiving updates reads WOFF2, so it is the only web format most sites need. Google Fonts does not offer this file for download at all — it serves WOFF2 from its own servers and gives you .ttf if you ask for the family.
