Ysabeau - Google Fonts

About

Ysabeau combines the familiar timeless letterforms of the Garamond legacy with the unencumbered crispness of a clean low-contrast sans serif. Unlike other humanist sans, Ysabeau retains the confident wide stride and unapologetic extenders of the world's favorite book face for unmitigated reading comfort. Try it on your e-reader and never look back! Pair it with EB Garamond or Cormorant for a perfect match, or blow it up to page-filling sizes and revel in its elegance.

Ysabeau offers extensive Latin, Greek and Cyrillic.

When you have some text, how can you choose a typeface? Many people—professional designers included—go through an app’s font menu until we find one we like. But the aim of this Google Fonts Knowledge module is to show that there are many considerations that can improve our type choices. By setting some useful constraints to aid our type selection, we can also develop a critical eye for analyzing type along the way.
