Multi-script style matching

Making your Latin sans serif work with fallback fonts from other scripts is a common need in typography. This is well demonstrated by FauxFoundry, for Greek. Here we demonstrate Roboto matching Chinese in Noto, a common fallback for CJK.

Line one shows the default, where Roboto uppercase is slightly heavier and shorter. Line two is adjusted to a lighter weight and taller caps. Line three shows the defaults with mixed case, and line four shows the Latin lowercase descenders shortened to match the Chinese descent.

Here, Roboto’s weight is adjusted to match Noto Bold as a fallback.
