Adobe celebrates 25 years of digital type design; gives away free font

(1/1)

Edvard:

Adobe's open-source font program doesn't stem from a desire to provide freebies, but instead from a need to have fonts that meet the legal requirements to include with its growing number of open-source projects. Source Serif Pro perfectly represents Adobe's current strategy: it's an elegant, well-designed, and fairly complete font, but was created because it was essential to the business, and then tied to a company milestone by PR and marketing to drive Creative Cloud subscriptions. Download it with equal parts delight and cynicism.

well, that gave me a laugh :-)

Source Serif Pro includes three weights -- regular, semibold, and bold -- the most popular ligatures, and both standard and old-style numerals. Latin alphabet only, at least for now.

^There's no italic included - I'm not sure what it's intended for - it's sans serif sibling is designed for UI usage:
Source Sans Pro is a set of OpenType fonts that have been designed to work well in user interface (UI) environments.
