One of the most distinct pieces of typographic branding in recent years is Literata — the type family we created for all Google Play Books. Its combination of form and function came about by solving a serious challenge: reading a novel on any number of devices. It was so well received that Google asked TypeTogether for a serious update and to release it for free on Google Fonts. We’re happy to announce that version 2.1 was released in mid-2019, and that version 3 is well on its way. On the docket: increased language support, more styles, small caps, more glyphs, and the new golden child of typography — a variable font version! Refresh your memory about the original four-weight version here, dive into the major update details here, and of course get the free font family straight from us here.
