Source Han Sans is a sans-serif gothic typeface created by Adobe and Google.

It is also released under the name of Noto Sans CJK by Google as part of its Noto fonts family.[1]

Source Han Sans includes seven font weights: ExtraLight 100, Light 200, Normal 300, Regular 400, Medium 500, Bold 700, and Heavy 900. The font contains 65,535 glyphs (the maximum possible in a TrueType font), and covers 29,777 CJK Unified Ideographs and 409 CJK Compatibility Ideographs specified in the Unicode Standard.
