Typography

PatternFly uses Open Sans, an open-licensed, sans serif, typeface designed by Steve Matteson. The type family includes a complete 897 character set, along with Cyrillic character sets. There are ten type-face variants available with this font. Use the CSS rule “@font-face” to include these fonts in your application styles. For more information, check out w3schools’ @font-face css reference.
