In the end, the extra information is most obvious in the Week and Month sections of the calendar where things need to be quite compact. Version 66.0 of Phone by Google is currently in the beta channel. By the way, I recommend using the Samsung Sans font, which is a little more compact than the default font. The change is applied throughout the Favorites, Recents, and Contacts tabs, but the T9 portion of the keypad dialer remains the same as before. In the Google Phone app, you see it in use for contact names and various labels/parts of the UI, like “Frequents.” Like the letter “G,” a capital “Q” is one telltale example - wider than before - of Google Sans Text. We’ve previously seen it in limited testing for Gboard, but that was recently pulled for all users ahead of a broader Material You revamp. GS Text, as it’s also known by, was introduced last year and the company confirmed that it’s starting to be adopted.
Google Sans Text is “designed for smaller point sizes and perfectly suited for body text.” It builds on Google Sans, which is a size-optimized version of Product Sans, from 2018. Carmen Sans is a Geometric Sans that expresses modern vigor based on simplicity and clarity. This change quietly occurred in recent days with version 66.0 of the Phone app. Google Sans Text is now in use by the Phone app on Android. Besides unveiling Material You, Google at I/O 2021 last month detailed how “GS Text” is the company’s new font and beginning to appear in more first-party applications.
