Low importance?
[edit]Low importance? Really?? Open Sans is the look of the 2010s, being on 21 million websites and viewed 28.3 billion times last week (this link, alas, is resistant to being archived). It’s the second most popular font on Google Fonts right now. Open Sans is not some obscure monospace programming font with a free-to-download-but-not-open-source license; it’s an open-source font which has, in a big way, defined contemporary culture.

- Reference: https://www.designernews.co/stories/50353-why-all-the-hate-against-open-sans “The only bad thing that Open Sans has is its overuse on the web.” Yeah, I know, it’s a forum and therefore not a reliable source. It’s hard to find reliable sources about fonts on the web; people just don’t write about fonts that much in newspapers, magazines, books, and scholarly journals. Instead, we get news articles about the horrible scandal that a man tried to kiss a woman 50 years ago (no, I am not kidding) instead about things which matter, like fonts and why Open Sans may or may not be a good choice (or maybe Source Sans Pro instead).

- For what it's worth, I agree with you that this article shouldn't be considered Low-importance. Riordanmr (talk) 04:32, 23 November 2020 (UTC)
