Raleway is an elegant sans-serif typeface, designed by Matt McInerney in a single thin weight. It is a display face that features both old style and lining numerals, standard and discretionary ligatures, a pretty complete set of diacritics, as well as a stylistic alternate inspired by more geometric sans-serif typefaces than it’s neo-grotesque inspired default character set.
This a a colaberation of designers that are striving to improve the standard when it somes to web design. The group is driven by the challenge to inhance the quality of type design that is avaliable on the internet. In their manifesto ( which I’ve included a link for below) the group talks about the movement they they are inspirting to provide free type to the world, not for money, however for the ablility to be apart of making the typographic world a better place they everyone can enjoy.
