What is redhat-text-fonts

Red Hat Typeface is a fresh take on the geometric sans genre, taking inspiration from a range of American sans serifs including Tempo and Highway Gothic. The Display styles, made for headlines and big statements, are low contrast and spaced tightly, with a large x-height and open counters. The Text styles have a slightly smaller x-height and narrower width for better legibility, are spaced more generously, and have thinned joins for better performance at small sizes. The Mono styles are similar to the Text styles, but are adapted for better performance to render code and similar text. The three families can be used together seamlessly at a range of sizes. The fonts were originally commissioned by Paula Scher / Pentagram and designed by Jeremy Mickel / MCKL for the new Red Hat identity. This package provides the Text fonts variant.
