Merriweather

When proposing the design of Merriweather to Google
the goal was to create a workhorse text typeface for the
web. One of Merriweather main features that is likely
to be most obvious is an very large x height. It is legible
and pleasant to read which adapts the design to screens
and to as many web browsers and operating sytems as
possible. Mixed into this is the need the type work at
small sizes on screen which required the adoption of
some the structural features of more modern and
specifically screen type.
