MiSans
Xiaomi HyperOS system font
Type specimen
The specimen uses the official Google Fonts subset when available, otherwise a font installed on this device. If neither exists the browser falls back to a system font, so treat the official download page as authoritative.
About this font
MiSans debuted with MIUI 13 in late 2021, custom-built by Hanyi for Xiaomi and declared free for commercial use the day it shipped. It carries the heaviest weight family among Chinese system fonts: ten weights from Thin to Heavy plus a variable binary, nearly 30,000 glyphs and fifteen OpenType features. The 2023 MiSans Global family, co-produced with Monotype and Hanyi, spans over twenty scripts and 600-plus languages, while MiSans L3 adds the full 87,000-character GB18030-2022 level-3 set for rare names. Designwise it is flatter and leaner than its predecessor - crisp stroke cuts, reduced structure, tabular figures - engineered to shrink reading fatigue on phones, tablets, cars and watches alike.
Where it works best
Good fit: app and web UI, system-level design specs, device and car displays, data-heavy tables (tabular figures help), products covering Tibetan, Arabic or Devanagari scripts, and registry systems where citizens' rare-name characters must render (use L3). Picks: Regular/Medium body, Semibold/Bold headings, or slide the variable axis freely; hairline weights at large sizes make energetic brand posters. Downloads sit on Xiaomi's HyperOS font page without login; embedding in a shipped app requires noting MiSans usage, while advertising, packaging, trademarks and publishing are free under the same grant.

Licence and commercial boundaries
Licence:MiSans Global Commercial Licence
Xiaomi's declaration: the whole family is free for global commercial use and ships with software. Duties: note MiSans usage when embedded; no standalone sale or rental; no releasing modified letterforms as a new version. The public FAQ page is the licence portal.
Xiaomi's official declaration grants the entire MiSans family for free global commercial use by anyone, explicitly including installation into systems, software and apps shipped to users. Four constraints apply: software embedding must carry a special note that MiSans is used; selling, renting or reselling the font files alone is forbidden; you may tune weight and spacing but must not alter the font's appearance into a derivative release; works typeset with MiSans - posters, logos, app screens - remain freely distributable and sellable. The public FAQ page doubles as the licence portal; archive a dated screenshot for high-value work.
Hard restrictions
- Software embedding must state MiSans usage.
- No standalone sale or rental of font files.
- No releasing modified letterforms as a new version.
Commercial-use FAQ
MiSans vs. MiSans L3 - do I need both?
Install MiSans (and Global scripts as needed) for ordinary design and UI; add L3 only when rare personal or place-name characters must render - government, finance, civil-registry contexts. They cover different weight ranges and coexist cleanly.
