When Google released its Ice Cream Sandwich upgrade for Android, the new software brought along Roboto, an updated system font that Google designed in-house. The font has drawn its share of critics and and fans, but if you want to get an in-depth look at it for yourself, you can download Roboto on Android’s developer design guidelines website.
