Hi! Been trying the app and I love it. @ljdawson@lemmy.world

Something that stood out to me as an app developer is that Product Sans is being used extensively in the UI. As far as I understand it’s not a font that can be licensed for use (only Google can use it).

I know it’s been asked before since some search results came up from reddit but there was no answer from the developer.

As someone who would want to use that font too could you explain how Sync is using it? Are you just ignoring the license or maybe it’s just a very similar font? Thanks!

    Looks the same to me. I’m guessing these are bundled within the app and then there’s the system option that will use whatever you choose on your system settings.

      Although I don’t have any idea about how it can be included, it’s at least curious
