About the Zalando Sans font
Zalando Sans is a sans-serif typeface designed by Jakob Ekelund and KH Type and Zalando, first released to Google Fonts on September 2025. It ships with 8 weights · italic · variable 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 72% of the cap height, normal letter forms and low stroke contrast. Those three numbers are what the font finder uses to narrow an image down to the closest matches, so you can compare Zalando Sans against the rest of the library by shape rather than by name.
