Adobe has announced Source Sans Pro, a new and free open source type family, which is the first of its kind from the software provider.

The Source Sans Pro family currently includes six weights, from ExtraLight to Black, in upright and italic styles. Adobe is also offering language support for Latin script (including Western and Eastern European languages), Vietnamese, the pinyin Romanization of Chinese, and Navajo.

The Creative Suite maker also cites that this font family is the first from Adobe to support both the Indian rupee and Turkish lira currency symbols. Adobe also has plans to add Cyrillic and Greek support as well as producing a monowidth version of the Source Sans design.

Adobe asserts that this marks another milestone for the company in developing and producing high-quality type tools. After fielding frequent requests for a typeface tailored to an open source environment, this new typeface is touted to be tailored to Adobe users’ specific needs while making another important contribution to the open source community.
