Matias Duarte took to his Google+ page today to give everyone a behind-the-scenes look at the developmental process behind one of Ice Cream Sandwich's tiniest updates: the font. Those boys over at Google are calling it Roboto (don't you dare call it san-serif Helvetica) and if you thought there couldn't possibly been much thought behind the new typeface you were wrong. Soooo very wrong. According to Mr. Duarte, the reason for the new change is simple — the old Droid font was made for lower res devices and wasn't displaying correctly on the now offical 1280×800 screen resolution.
