Source Han Sans is a sans-serif gothic typeface created by Adobe and Google. Latin-script letters and numerals are taken from the Source Sans Pro font, while simplified and traditional Chinese, Korean, and Japanese characters are created by other companies. 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.
