Google is slowly bringing its Material Theme to most of its properties. The latest product to get the treatment is its Search on mobile. 9to5Google reports that Google is testing out its “Google Sans” font in the search result pages. This font is a slightly modified version of Product Sans, which Google uses for all its product logos. This font has been showing up on many of Google’s web properties and apps so it comes as no surprise it’s making its way to Search as well.

According to Google, this proprietary font is simply Product Sans optimized to work for different sizes—everything from billboards to mobile phones. As for when it’ll make it to the web, we can’t say just yet but services like Gmail, Google Pay, and Google Drive, have all adopted Material Theme in full or in part so perhaps the change might come sooner than we think.
