Web APIs process those requests and display the content, drawing from the available font sets on the server. The goal was to expand and enrich the variety of web content by making it take advantage of API (Application Programming Interface).Įvery time your web browser connects to the Internet, it sends a request from the server to access content, which is then represented accordingly. It bears remembering that the Google Fonts collection was formerly called Google Web Fonts when launched in 2010. Some font families contain a single style, while others contain multiple styles, as you can see in the case of Roboto – 12 styles within a single font family!
