About the Balsamiq Sans font
Balsamiq Sans is a display typeface designed by Michael Angeles, first released to Google Fonts on April 2020. It ships with 2 weights · italic and is licenced under the SIL Open Font License, which permits commercial use in websites, apps, documents and print without attribution or payment.
Its measured character is a medium x-height at 74% of the cap height, normal letter forms and medium stroke contrast.
