Open Sans FAQ
What kind of typeface is Open Sans?
Open Sans is a sans serif typeface designed by Steve Matteson. Preview it in regular and bold weights and inspect its full character set above.
Which design kits use Open Sans?
No published Identity Forge design kit uses Open Sans yet. You can still choose it as a typography override in the brand workspace and export the system for your coding agent.
Can I use Open Sans in my brand for free?
Yes. Open Sans is a Google Font, and you can apply it as your brand's typography in Identity Forge for free, then export the whole system (CSS, Tailwind, DTCG, or a shadcn registry) for your coding agent.
How do I use Open Sans with a coding agent?
Pick a design kit that uses it (or set it as a typography override), then install via the Identity Forge MCP server, the CLI (npx identityforge@latest apply <kit-slug>), or a shadcn registry endpoint. Each writes the fonts, tokens, and DESIGN.md into your project.
