Font NotoSans

Uwe Jandt (DESY, HIFIS) requested to merge 266-font-noto-sans into master

Replacing Herman and Corporate S fonts (for headlines and bulk text, respectively), trying Noto Sans as proposed there.

The new font shall be somewhat similar to new Helmholtz page design, but remain OS.

  • Rough implementation for headlines and text
  • Make standard text size a bit smaller to fit to the old standard sizes of boxes etc.
  • Align element sizes (front page h1 headlines seem quite large still, buttons as well)
  • Check readability; possibly slightly increase line spacing for larger text blocks
  • Decide what to do with the mononoki font, don't know if there is need to replace this. Needed for code, e.g. here.
  • Decide what to do with Fontawesome symbols
  • Clarify licensing stuff for new font


Closes #266 (closed)
