you can I take it how vatika we could
have taken Helvetica but right now it's
not for you not trying to cheap out on
the font know as Google can afford to
buy a font right and not only do we
afford to buy fonts but we go above and
beyond because we open source the funds
so normally when you buy a font like we
did it palm be licensed it right right
what Google does with all the typography
that goes and Android is that it becomes
open source so anybody can use it so we
can any pretty can redesign the verge
with all Roboto yeah but then please
you've worked so well I'm not trying to
gather next I'm not sure it's the
perfect Madame Berrier site definitely
gonna get no it's great we have some
sans-serif fonts on there a few how
vatika actually we can afford it so not
a big deal but um but we should actually
make no profit though that's the other
side of Android dinner so we give it
away for free we have no money to spend
on anything right right exactly cuz you
guys are just giving everything away
you're not making any money so well
known fact about Google poor totally
broke but you when we talk so our walk
here what you did you watch all the way
down from your hood self
